Question 1

How did urmomsushi get a 42 in the IB?

Accepted Answer

I treated IB like a bunch of separate systems: coursework (EE/TOK/CAS) first, then each subject group with its own strategy. In the video I go step-by-step through what I did for every subject I took and what I prioritized to get 7s. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right things consistently.

Question 2

What IB subjects did you take and what did you score?

Accepted Answer

My subjects were English A Literature HL, German B HL, Business Management HL, Mathematics AA SL, Economics SL, and Physics SL (boooo). In this guide I walk through how I approached each one and what helped me hit 7-level performance in the subjects I scored 7s in. My Extended Essay was in English.

Question 3

How do you write an IB Extended Essay (EE) and score well?

Accepted Answer

I cover EE in the coursework section and talk through how I approached it from planning to execution so it didn’t become a last-minute nightmare. My EE was in English, and I’m very big on making your structure and evidence do the heavy lifting. I also linked my actual EE and examples so you can see what a finished one looks like.

Question 4

What’s your advice for the TOK essay and CAS?

Accepted Answer

I include TOK and CAS in the same “coursework” mindset: get the points early by being organized and intentional. In the video I break down what to focus on so you’re not scrambling later when exams hit. Basically: don’t romanticise suffering—romanticise having your CAS done.

Question 5

How did you study for English A Literature HL in the IB?

Accepted Answer

For English A Lit HL, I focused on building strong analysis habits and knowing how to structure my writing under time pressure. I go through what to do for Group 1 specifically and how I revised in a way that actually translates to exam marks. I also share notes/resources so you’re not starting from zero.

Question 6

How do you get a 7 in German B HL?

Accepted Answer

For German B HL, I treated it like a skills subject: consistent exposure + targeted practice for the exact formats IB wants. In the video I break down what I did for Group 2 and how I kept it manageable alongside everything else. The goal is steady progress, not random bursts of motivation.

Question 7

How did you revise for Business Management HL and Economics SL?

Accepted Answer

For Business HL and Econ SL, I leaned into understanding the concepts and then practicing how to write the answers the IB markscheme rewards. I go through both in the Group 3 sections and explain what I prioritized when time was tight. It’s very ‘work smart, not hard’—but with actual steps.

Question 8

Where can I get your free IB notes and IA/EE examples?

Accepted Answer

I linked my free Notion page in the description with notes for 5/6 subjects and ALL my IAs/EE/essays. It’s meant to be a starting point and a reference so you can model structure and depth. If you also want the official exam transcript breakdown, I have those available separately too.
