IB has built up their reputation so that even the thought of an IB exam is terrifying. Nonetheless, I have just recently completed my very last IB exam ever, granted it was only the second one I had to write. Being in French Immersion, I only had to write Geo last year and French this year, unlike the 15 IB students at my school that suffered through 4 or 5.
I first have to ask, what’s up with each subject needing to write at least two parts to an exam? Some have to write three! What’s that about? I know it happens, but come on we’re in high school, there’s no need for that! Regardless, today was the only day I had to write because both parts were back to back starting at 8:30am and ending around noon. The first part of Paper 1 started great, but as Texte C and D presented themselves, I found myself in a panic! Luckily I wasn’t alone when I was faced with writing a ‘tracte’. How was I supposed to know that meant flyer? At least Paper 2 went very well and I finished in no time. Fingers crossed for a 5 so that Dal will except it as a credit, but a 6 would be nice too! (‘Tracte’ might have ruined my chances of a 6 though) I felt ready with the little studying I did, but you can never be 100% ready for an IB exam.
And of course, we just had to write on our day off school (Victoria Day) and missed out on a beautiful sunny morning! The first we’ve had in weeks! Lucky for most of the students that wrote today, they are officially finished with High School. I have to go back for one more month, but luckily I will have free periods where French used to be! It’s crazy that this is the last month of High School coming up for me! I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. I am looking forward to a lot of the Grad activities, and will no doubt be quite busy as the year is coming to an end.
Kudos for now.
