I created IB student as a past IB student to help current IB students with revising for their exams in economics and developing a love for the subject. All of these notes found on here are the notes that I used for my own economics exams. During the first term, I found economics particularly confusing, so I spent each lesson staring at the clock and avoiding the teacher's eye as she asked us questions. As time went on, I realised that I wasn't understanding or enjoying the subject, which prompted me to start going over the topics myself at home. Once I got the basics, all the following topics began to fall into place and soon I developed a love for economics. In August of last year, I decided to take a gap year and my old school asked me to work with some students as an academic mentor. This has involved tutoring students in many subjects, however, I soon began to focus on economics tutoring in particular. I was certainly not someone who had planned to take a gap year as I am pretty keen on academia. However, I am rather unexpectedly very glad that I did. My interest in economics has developed so much that in September I will be going to university to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics. I am therefore adamant that anyone willing to put in a little extra effort in economics can be very successful in the subject at IB. The IB definitely lives up to its reputation as being extremely challenging, but for me and many others all the hard work now seems to be worth it. It takes a great deal of perseverance and organisation, plus the number of subjects admittedly means that it is not ideal for everyone. Yet having the opportunity to do the IB is fantastic, even if you do not realise the benefits until long after you have finished the course. Good luck to you all and I hope you find these notes helpful!

A girl and a boy studying together

IB students are often known as, 'sane people that take a 2-year program which makes them insane. They are found famous for nervous breakdowns' (Urban Dictioary). However, this doesn't have to be the case. It is possible to maintain your sanity whilst taking the IB, at times it is even possible to enjoy it. 

 

 

IB Study has been created to help current IB students with the challenges of economics. Economics is certainly more logical and interesting than it may at first seem, so have a look around and see what you can learn. 

 

 

Problems? If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hestitate to email me. Also if you like IB Study then I would love to hear from you.
