My IB mock exam results - Lifestyle Monday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, 

A couple of weeks ago, I told you guys about how my IB dance mock examination went and what I got for the exam. If you missed the post, I ended up getting a 5b for the solo that I choreographed and performed to my teacher. It was a grade that I was reasonably happy with but I know that I can get a little bit higher than that when it comes to doing my actual dance examination.

However, today I'm going to be sharing with you my full May 2021 IB mock exam grades. When I opened my results, I was definitely happy with some of the grades that I got. In English and history I was able to achieve some pretty good grades and it really was a reflection of how much work I put in to achieve this. Despite this, I was still a little bit disheartened with the other results that I saw because in some of the papers, I did try my best and the outcome was not exactly what I had wanted to get. Nonetheless, I was still somewhat happy that I managed to pass all my subjects, having been so out of touch with how the exams worked because of the pandemic. If there's one thing that you must also know about me is that during exams, I tend to set myself overly high expectations. Sometimes this can work in my favour and other times it can really get me down. When I got home I had a little bit of a breakdown to my mum because in maths especially, I was hoping to get a grade a little bit higher than what I had achieved. Now, I'm looking at the whole situation with clearer eyes, I can see that my grades are good and I should be proud of myself. There's always room for improvement, but I did try my best and that's all that matters. My results are as follows:

  • Maths: 4a
  •  English: 6c
  •  Nature of Science: 5a
  •  Japanese: 5a
  •  History: 6a
  •  Dance: 5b
With the IB, I believe the highest score a student can get across all 6 subjects is a 45. The minimum score that you can get in the IB is a 24, with a minimum score of 12 for all the higher level subjects, a minimum score of 9 points for every standard level subject, and 3 extra points for the extended essay, TOK, and CAS. Taking into account my Theory of Knowledge performance and my Creativity, Activity, and Service performance, I was able to achieve a score of 34 across all of my subjects. Taking into consideration how challenging I found the mock exam period and how nervous I was sitting some of the papers, to get a 34 in my 2021 IB mock, I think is a pretty good achievement. I've already reviewed all of my papers so now I have a good idea of where I went wrong so I can improve for the future exams. I'm not very good at remembering this but I need to instil in my mind that every exam and every lesson is a learning curve and all I can do is work from what I got, to get even better. The fact of the matter is, if I was able to achieve these grades this early on, I can hopefully achieve extraordinary grades in the future. 😀😀

Testing Lush's Harajuku and Comforter bath bombs - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, It's coming up to the final week of exams and even though it's nearly over, I've still got 4 major exams left to do and I can feel the pressure beginning to build. To help deal with the stress, I like taking baths whilst reading a good book. I read many books at once but the main one that I'm currently reading is If This Is A Woman, by Sarah Helm. I've raved a lot about this already on my second blog, The Book Hub, so you should definitely go and check them out because I've made some pretty good articles on them and its a book that I would highly recommend. Anyway, as I'm sure many of you that have been following my blog for a long time, would know that I went to Oxford Street's Lush, with my sister and I made a couple of purchases. I already did a review of one of the bubble bars so you should go and check that out but today I'm going to be talking about the Comforter and Harajuku bath bomb. O...

The difficulty of the artistic life - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  People tend to choose a creative profession because academic jobs are more challenging. In a way, I can understand why that would make sense to many people. If you wanted to get into medicine or become a paramedic, there's a lot you would have to do beforehand to get there. When I read Noel Fitzpatrick's book, Becoming the Supervet, in order for him to become a professor in his field, he had to go to vet school and specialise in orthopaedic surgery at university. That was a huge undertaking that would stress anyone out because it's so competitive and you've only got one chance to succeed after years and years of study. However, it's a common misconception that dance or any other creative industry, isn't just as stressful. Over the years I've been dancing, I've met a lot of different dancers and dance teachers. Luckily, both of my dance teachers in and out of school now are lovely and supportive bu...

Controlling monarchy and powerful dictatorships, is there really a difference? - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Apart from revising for the mock exams, in history we've also been learning the first part to our new course, Power, Monarchy, and Democracy. We're currently learning about Medieval history from Aethelred the Unready, as an Anglo-Saxon king, to arrogant kings like King John, who signed the Magna Carta. At first, I thought that there was a massive comparison between what we were learning about as part of our year 10 course on Nazi Germany and now but I realise that that was simply not the case. We seem to talk a lot about monarchy being one thing and dictatorship being another when in reality, there isn't really much difference between Hitler and Stalin who were two powerful dictators, and King Richard II, who believed he was divinely chosen by God to be king. In my opinion, a dictatorship is just a monarchy born from democracy and a monarchy is just an inherited family dynasty. Both in the past, have been seen, exploi...
