You might have stumbled across the terminology, ‘IB’, at least once in your life. The IB or International Baccalaureate is just like any other board such as ICSE OR CBSE. IB trains the student not to be just smart but a well-rounded person who doesn’t live with their nose in a book all the time. There are additional requirements to the course completion. The program demands three extra things such as – CAS hours, extended essay, and theory of Knowledge.
The CAS hours stand for Creativity, action, and service. One is required to do 50 hours of stuff in each of these three categories. The IB Ace Academy at Chennai is at the forefront of giving the best education related to the IB curriculum.
Physics is a subject that requires advanced problem-solving skills. There are many equations and concepts in physics you need to master to gain a stronghold over the subject. The IB Physics is also known to maintain a level of difficulty in the examination. The Ace Academy institute at Chennai is a reputed institute and is renowned for making technological advancements in the last couple of years.
Physics is a language whose skills are developed only over some time. It doesn’t happen in a single day. The IB tutors at Chennai help you develop the skills and face the examination. Getting a score of 7 is not an easy job, but with the various strategies chalked out by the tutors, one can succeed. The road map to the examination is already set, all one needs to do is traverse the path. One must be willing to work hard to achieve this feat.
Hard work and consistency go hand in hand together. Through determination, perseverance, and patience one can make their dream come true.

The IB tutors at Chennai help the students build a pathway
- It’s about being strategic
Physics is all about different equations and concepts. It is not possible to ace this examination just by mugging up all the concepts and jotting them down in the paper. To get a firm hold of all the concepts, it is important to understand them properly. The IB tutors help the students develop a genuine interest in the subject.
The Physics IB tutors take only two tuition sessions per week to complete the syllabus.
Strategy plays a key role in the entire process. Find out what all topics prioritize in the revision. You will get a free revision note template from the IB tutors.
If you are in the need of extra tutoring, the IB Physics tutors also help you with that.
- Looking at the concept through the past papers
We all have been through the tedious process of giving exams. Physics is first introduced to a student in high school itself. Many of us struggle in the initial days but once we get the hang of the subject, we succeed.
It is very important to get to the basics first. Prepare a timetable for your study. The training will be covered in the academy the self-study is as important as the training. There is a specific paper structure the IB examiners follow.
The degree of toughness of the question gives us an idea about what will come in the paper.
The IB tutors have a database for providing papers and handwritten notes to the students. The textbook knowledge is as important as the training. The textbook is the blueprint of any subject. Many students fall prey to the fact of not referring to the textbook before the commencement of the examination. It is important to gain textbook knowledge as well as refer to the other available study material.
- Make notes
After you finish studying a particular topic and understanding the core concepts of it, start making your notes.
The notes which you have made help you understand the topic even better. Writing down the definitions and highlighting the key points is also very important. The IB tutors help you prepare notes for Physics. After you are done studying the entire syllabus, go through the notes.
- All important concepts on your fingertips
The key to tackling the IB exam lies in the data booklet. Sometimes the data booklet that the school provides could be outdated. The IB Physics tutors have researched, collected, and assimilated the data in one database. The data is revised again and again taking into consideration the difficulty level of the examination. Students sometimes might get a little self-reliant on the textbook and not study the booklet. Equal preference should be given to both. It is important to remember the important information. Getting a 7 in the IB examination is not an easy job but under the valuable guidance of the IB tutors, one can succeed in this examination.
