Welcome to our Blog!

Hello and welcome to our blog! 


We are a trio of Year 12 Cambridge IB students here to give the tips and tricks of the trade! 

Between us, we study: art, biology, chemistry, economics, English (literature), history, French, German, maths, physics, psychology, Russian, and Spanish.

Along with an insight into the IB and our experience, we hope to support students both already doing the IB or considering choosing this path after secondary school with a variety of articles and interviews with both students and teachers every week. Our next post will be up on Saturday, with tips on managing exam stress. 👀📚


Over the next few weeks, you can expect posts about:

  • motivation and maintaining academic momentum
  • why we chose the IB
  • news on the IB globally
  • how we stay organised
  • is it important to come from an international background when doing the IB?


If you have any suggestions or questions, head to the submissions form on the left!

That you can become like those you admire. You go from there. We all fall back into past patterns of disbelief, but with each fall we should get back up - we won't fall so easily the next time. Step out of your comfort zone. Personally, I used to be terribly timid and greatly looked-up do those who were so effortlessly outspoken and

The Devil in Disguise: Multitasking

  In this article, Amy (2nd year SL psychology student) explores the myth of multitasking and how to become more productive !    Student life can become extraordinarily busy: with classes, homework and extracurriculars needing more time than there are hours in the day - thank goodness for multitasking, right? The skill of being able to perform more than one task at the same time (Mirriam-Webster online dictionary definition of multitasking) is often seen in a positive light as a way to be more productive and efficient by juggling multiple activities at the same time. But as research has shown that multitasking can be detrimental to our concentration and output quality, is it worth it? It is relatively common among students to watch or listen to something while doing work or studying, but Cynthia Kubu, who has a PhD in neuropsychology, says that instead of being the multitasking martyrs that we think we are, we are in actuality “doing individual tasks actions in rapid succession, or ta
