What's inside

Everything a DP1 parent asks us in the first month.

Chapter 01

How the IBDP actually grades you

Internal vs external marks, HL vs SL weighting, what examiners look for and how that differs from O and A level norms.

Chapter 02

Planning DP1 without burning out

Subject workload patterns, realistic weekly schedules, when to start IAs, and the traps DP1 students fall into every year.

Chapter 03

TOK and EE without tears

Picking a knowledge question that actually earns marks. An EE structure that writes itself once the research question is right.

Chapter 04

Exam technique, paper by paper

Command-term decoding, time management across multi-paper exams, how to pick up marks on questions you partly know.

Chapter 05

University applications from the IB track

Predicted grades, UCAS vs US vs Singapore uni timelines, which IB subjects open which doors.
