One thing we have to do in CAS is make CAS projects. essentially combining at least to things in one activity. This seems to be a pretty new thing so I don't think you had to do that. A gaming marathon is a really good idea for doing service.

Anyway, what subjects did you take? How heavy was the work load? how nervous do you get when it's exam time?

I took the usual English,and math. I had psychology as my history class. Spanish was my language, and digital arts was my sixth subject. The work load wasn't so bad as long as you kept up with stuff and did it the day you got it. I wasn't too nervous during our final exams. By that point, everything was beaten into me, I had figured out exactly how to take the test, because it's very formulaic.

Secret tip: Check out the ibo website. I straight up bought the previous years exams for my psychology class as practice. Yeah, it's a bit of a scam, but they're only a few bucks and they did wonders for my preparation for either real thing.

Thanks for the advice. So, do the work immediately and practice on old tests (that you can by from Ibo)? That's good advice. Thanks. It's going to help me manage and actually gain something from doing the IB. It's always nice to get tips from people that have been through it already.

No problem! Definitely let me know if you've got any questions or concerns or the like. It's a bit tough but definitely worth it, and you seem pretty bright, so I don't think you'll have any problems! :)

Thanks for the kind words and all the advice. I'll keep you in mind if I have any more questions.
