So, you’ll be starting the DP soon. You’ve probably heard that it is either really difficult or is a breeze. Either ways, you might feel like you want to prepare yourself before the semester starts. In that case, here are some ideas you can consider to do to prepare for the DP over your break!

If you do the full diploma programme (DP) of the IB, CAS (aka Creativity, Activity, Service) is a mandatory part the IB requires from you over the course of your two years that you prepare for your IAs and exams. Here are some tips based on my experience on how to approach CAS and make it a less painful extra hassle you have to deal with later on.

Here are all of the online resources that I continuously used throughout my DP years in no particular order. I didn’t like to spend money on resources that I would only use for two years and wouldn’t hold much purpose later on, which is why all of these resources are free! This is great stuff to understand the IB and study effectively to achieve the grades you was aiming for.
