Many of you will not have worked independently before, but as you approach IB you will be expected to work independently more and more. Here are a few point you might like to bear in mind.

• Check the syllabus carefully
• Divide your available time by the amount of work you have to do
• Give your work a title and add subtitles as you go
• Define and underline key terms
• Annotate your work and explain to yourself what is going on, preferably in a different colour
• Draw diagrams
• Check your work with your classmates
• Take responsibility for your learning and make sure you cover what you’re supposed to cover
