Anything you''d like to say to a future IB students?
You will learn how to appreciate your breaks. To me, IB isn''t harder than what I was used to before but rather, it is just more intense in terms of workload (which I''ll assume that you''ve already heard from the IB''ers at your school). Your marks may flucuate at the beginning due to the heavier workload and higher expectations but they shouldn''t drastically change in the long run. Also, depending on your work ethic, the hours of sleep you get will be in decline the more you procrastinate.
I remember when I was in IB1 ... I could do most of my assignments the day before the deadline and still get an excellent mark but as the year went on, I found myself sleeping at 11:00 ... 11:30 ... 12:00 ... 1:00... 2:30am. Of course, I eventually learned that that was not working for me and I had to manage my time more wisely but even so, I still catch myself staying up pretty late - not only because of homework, but just because of habit.
During the summer between IB1 and IB2 (well, I''m not sure how that would work for the Nov. candidates), try to get ahead in your subjects - even if it is just a miniscule amount. If you are not busy during the summer, try to get some reading done for your Group 4 subject (History in your case) and your Extended essay. I only wish I had the time to get a head start on my EE during the summer because it is due in a month and homework has been piling up lately --> More stress, less sleep.
I haven''t got anything else to say right now. Use your time wisely and importantly, don''t let IB run most of your life. Of course you''re going to invest more time into schoolwork but remember, these are your last years of high school. If you spend most of your time just studying and doing homework, you''re obviously missing out on something. Yes, there''s university but there may be friends you''re going to miss ... family that you''re going to move away from.
So, manage your time wisely and you''ll be fine ... I suppose
你要学会休息，对我来讲，IB课程并不必我参加的其它课程困难，但是时间却比其它课程要紧迫，作业量很大。我想你从IB学校也听说过这个了。开始时，由于学习压力和期望值的原因，你的成绩可能波动较大，并且长期不会发生巨变。当然，成绩的改变取决于你的付出，你睡眠的时间可能被一再压缩。
我记得在IB课程的第一学期，我总是能够提前完成作业，但是随着时间的流逝，我睡眠的时间一拖再拖，一开始是11点，然后11点半，12点，1点，2点半。当然，我较终能够控制住了时间，而不是并自己的学习任务左右。至此，我睡眠时间一直很晚，不仅因为作业多的原因，也是因为我已经养成了晚睡的习惯。
在IB1升至IB2的那个暑假，尝试预习你的科目，即使只能少量预习，如果你在这个暑假不是太忙，那么尝试读一些历史，为第四课的学习做准备，尽可能的扩展阅读，那个夏天你有一个月的时间，所以给自己一些压力，少睡会，你的成绩会提高很多的。
控制好你的时间，这是我较想告诉你的。不要让IB浪费你太多的生命。当然这是你高中的较后一学期，你理应该努力学习的。但是，如果你被IB的课程作业所拖累，你将失去更多，友谊，家庭的美好时光将一去不复返。
较后，我认为IB学习的过程中，管理好时间，你将会很快乐。
