How do the IB ESS tutors in Ace Academy help?
- The mantra for a 7
Every student pursuing this diploma only comes here with one motive, for scoring a perfect 7. They are made well aware of the grind they are going to be subjected to. The most unique thing about IB which sets them apart from the other institutes is ‘The early preparation propaganda’. They want to deliver excellence. It is said that the early bird catches the worm. The early you start preparing for this curriculum, the greater will be the odds of scoring a 7.
The institute focuses on studying the paper-wise strategies and targeted areas of the syllabus which are likely to appear in the examination.
- Looking at specific concepts through past papers
Looking at previous year’s question papers develops deeper cognitive skills in students. One can assess the areas of improvement. Writing the long answers with a timer on can help a student work on his skill. He can get to know how much time is to be allotted to every question. Rewriting the answers in bullet points or flowcharts can improve the presentation skills of the student. Put more emphasis on the questions which are inevitable or are likely to come in the examination. One can also get to know the degree of toughness of a particular question. The IB ESS Tutors in Bangalore have fragmented the sessions into two so that it will be easier for them to teach the students.
