Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to design a schedule which benefits students in virtually all regions. The schedule is based on GMT timings, making morning sessions accessible to students in ASEAN & Europe and afternoon sessions accessible to students in Europe & LATAM.

Absolutely! After the completion of each session, the video of the entire lesson will be imported into our bespoke LMS system, with class notes where applicable.

Not yet. We are not an IB world school and so IB policy means you cannot currently sit your final exam through our organsiation. In the first instance, we would encourage students to liaise with their own schools regarding exam sessions. Where this isn't possible, we are partnering with regional schools to act as exam centres for those students who are unable to sit exams at their 'home' schools.

This is an unprecedented year and we are still awaiting final IBO policy on November exam sessions in relation to the internal assessment component.

Our courses are taught by quaflied and trained IB teachers, all of whom either currently work or have worked at IB schools, are engaging and encouraging and have extensive online teaching experience. Each teacher we work with will have gone through extensive EIB training to ensure there is parity in delivery across all of our courses.

As per IBO policy, you can sit up to 6 exams per exam session, and so in theory you can take six subjects through us, though of course there will be time-table clashing and we encourage you to review the timetable and raise any queries you may have.

Each teacher will take a slightly different approach. Of course, there will certainly be an element of test integration into the video sessions, and some homework may be set, but workshop leaders will not grade contents outside of class hours.

We've designed this course schedule to be applicable to students who have chosen to go to University in 2020. With only 4 hours a week for SL subjects, we are hopeful that for any students unhappy with their IB results, they will be able to fit at least one subject around their University schedule.

The November exam schedule can be found via the following link, with first exams on October 4th 2020. https://www.ibo.org/contentassets/7f6c7681e0b34fc8b0541c1229c7521d/dp-cp-november-2020-exam-schedule-en.pdf

One of the issues we've found over the years is that with most schools only experiencing or two students per class looking to retake classes, it is exceptionally hard for them to balance the demands of the current cohort with those students looking to retake. As such, it may be more economical not to attend school classes, given school fees would likely need to be paid to allow for this, though we would encourage correspondence with your class teachers to balance your current learning with what is being covered by your workshop leader.

We have run reduced versions of these courses in 2018 and 2019, and have been running online workshop for the past 4 years. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we ran our world renowned Easter revision courses for DP1 students in an online environment in April 2020.

No - your course will cover elements which will be supportive of your IAs but any IAs you plan to resubmit must be done through your current, or new IB world school. If you would like specific support for understanding how to create an exemplary IA, we recommend that you speak with our tuition team.

You must either register for IB exams through your current IB school, or through one of our regional exam partners. You can submit new IAs through the regional exam partner, but we recommend you agree this prior to theJuly 29th exam registration deadline.

If you are planning to retake the exam through your existing school, we recommend that you contact them to discuss this. Get in touch to enquire about the costs at the regional exam centres we can connect you with.

Please check our regional exam centre page which will be updated on a regular basis.

This depends on where you plan to sit the final exams. If your current school will register you for the exam session, your current DP coordinator will be your coordinator. If you are planning to work with one of the regional exam centres, we can support you in this journey, contact us to understand what this support structure will look like.

This will be up to who you choose to sit your exams through. The IBO have explicitly stated that N20 exam takers who are taking exams in place of the M20 results will not show as 'retake' candidates, and Universities are aware of this and have endorsed this view.
