The IB faculty ask the students to work on the following guidelines
- Reading many history books such as encyclopedias
An encyclopedia is a reference book or a compendium providing summaries of knowledge that comprehensively treats a particular branch of knowledge. The IB History tutors ask the students to read encyclopedias based on world history to make them interested in the subject first. The Students also get hooked on the subject well as the facts and illustrations portrayed in the encyclopedias are very enticing and the students become inquisitive about the subject. The very premise of asking the students to read encyclopedias is making them interested in the subject.
There is a huge volume of vocabulary, various countries, and their flags, the civilizations, etc.
- Looking at the concepts through the papers
We have all taken tests, given examinations right from our childhood up until we reached college. We are quite familiar with the system. The papers of any subject are being set by the IB Board of examination. They follow certain criteria while setting a paper. They make unique tailor-made questions every year that are not repeated. The structure and the degree of toughness of the questions give the students an idea about what comes in the paper during the examination.
The IB History tutors formulate various techniques for the students and help the students tackle every problem. It takes only two tuition sessions per week for them to cover all the topics.
After finishing each topic they conduct a separate question and answer round for doubt clarification. This way, the doubts of the students get resolved then and there.
- Important concepts on the fingertips
The IB History tutors tailor-make their lessons according to the key topics. There are e-books and various audio and video recordings that help one brush the basic concepts again. The best part of this system is that the IB tutors have assimilated all the data into a single database.
Sometimes the students get too reliant and only focus on one source of study material. One should make use of every resource that is available.
- The textbook is the blueprint
We all have different levels of understanding and grasping things. We all have our strong suits and we all know certain areas where we lag.
The students need to prepare a regimented timetable before the commencement of the exams. It will benefit them greatly. The students need to focus more on the topics they find difficult. They should jot down all the important key points and highlight all the definitions and the basic concepts of history.
The IB tutors take assessments after teaching an entire topic to the students. The students are subjected to tests after they are done studying the topic. The progress of every student is monitored properly.
This progress report is kept till the end of the training as a record.
Getting a 7 is not very easy but under the valuable guidance of our expert faculty, no mountain is too difficult for the expedition.
