Following is the way the IB tutors guide the Biology students
- Focus on the core concepts first well, it is a well-known fact that the subject of biology is vast and encompasses several entities and topics. It is very important to get to the root of any concepts before deep-diving into the entire syllabus. It is not possible to get the command over the subject in one day itself. It takes time and patience. Get to the basics, get familiar with all the terminologies. The terminologies play a major role as those are the key concepts and the entire foundation of the subject is based upon them. The IB tutors prepare presentations with illustrations to make the subject interesting. It takes them not more than 2 tuition sessions per week to cover the topics. After they have covered a topic, they immediately conduct a test on it so that you can gauge yourself. It is very important to know where we stand.
They have an entire database for providing Biology papers. The handwritten notes are also of high importance as they are the extracts of a particular topic.
- Prepare Mind maps
Mind maps are the key to remembering any topic. The visuals often entice the human eyes, so it is easy for you to get hold of any difficult concept using mind maps. You should also prepare a proper timetable for your self-study. The IB tutors also help the students in making the timetable. They jot down several strategies for some topics to make difficult topics look easy.
- Practicing through the textbooks
Well, we all are acquainted with textbooks as we have always referred to a single textbook before the commencement of our exams. Textbooks are a blueprint. It is also important to refer to various reference books, encyclopedias, and e-books for understanding different topics. There are more than seven publications that offer a high-quality IB syllabus. They have a good grasp of providing practice to the students. The IB tutors have assimilated all the study material such a past year question papers, important questions, and the questions that are most likely to come in the examination. The latest editions of the handbook you follow are in the database. The tutors make the lessons tailor-made according to the needs of the students.
There are various simulation and interactions in the e-books that makes learning easy.
- All important formulae on your fingertips
The key to tackling the examination is the data booklet. It is like a free resource for the students who have taken admission into the IB. The lessons are tailor-made according to the booklet. It is not advisable to get too reliant on one particular study material. The main concepts in biology are culminated together and then given to the students. This way, it is easier as the students do not have to find them in the textbook before the exam. They can revise them from the booklet given by the IB tutors.
Getting a 7 in IB Biology is indeed a tough job. But, under the valuable guidance of the teachers and expert faculty, no feat is difficult to achieve.
