The DP phase is a high stakes game. Results are crucial for University or College applications. To reduce stress, it is important to keep a steady pace and not fall behind. It is therefore vital that students do regular individual work at home to practice the sections learnt at school. An crucial aspect of this is to also perform under time-based pressure as exams have time limits. (These are normally covered in school in the form of summative tests after each section). A quiet space and a focused approach for about 20-30 minutes a day should be planned for. Useful online tools for exam-type questions are In Thinking and Revisionvillage.com. Learners should also start reading up IA and preparing their question for explorations.
