  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YkC6I5qrg2r7BGsE-skdynMMmg9LP59OVZJrPdghv18/edit

• Non-literary texts

• The ability to explain it logically and put it into an easily understandable format

• Study methods/advice

  • Wait, what did we do again?
  • Use your brain seriously in class to develop analytical skills
    • It’s good to have discussions in class and receive feedback on written analyses from teachers to gain missing perspectives
      • Like “I tend to focus on details but often forget to consider the overall tone”
  • Then put that into writing

[About Part 2: Panel Discussion] Theme: DP from the Perspective of Overseas University Entrance Exam Takers [20 minutes] I will be the moderator and we will have a panel discussion. There will be three topics, and we will discuss them while hearing the opinions of the two of us. The last 5 minutes will be for Q&A from the audience. There will be around 30 viewers, mostly parents.

[About Part 3: BOR] Theme: Advice for Domestic and International Entrance Exams [30 minutes] The two of us will be in charge of the BOR for “Overseas University Entrance Exams (US and UK)“. The ratio of high school students to us will be 2:3.

• It’s not necessary to be bound by the theme
• US universities
  • In my high school, both IB grades and a 5-point scale evaluation were given
  • I registered the 5-point scale evaluation as my school grades and also sent the predicted IB grades to my teachers
  • Getting the IB grades is definitely a plus, but if you have another GPA, it’s good to have a balance there

• Doing it again
• IB study methods
  • Very obvious: Take classes seriously
    • Make sure that the abilities required in IB actually grow in your daily classes
    • Learn things like different ways of thinking and interpretation through discussions in class
    • In subjects like History and language, engage in a feedback loop by receiving feedback on written analyses from teachers
• Balancing IB and overseas university entrance exams
  • It’s tough when exams like SAT and TOEFL overlap with the heavy periods of IB
    • SAT in October
  • October
• What I like and find challenging about IB
  • There are a lot of assignments
    • Well, that’s how university is too
  • Overall, it’s about metacognition and thinking about ways of thinking
    • TOK
