💯 MARKS HAVE BEEN OUT! Here are some summer plans for you! ☀️🍉
Hello IB-ers and former IB-ers,
So, it’s been about 2 weeks since scores have been released for the May 2022 students (the dreaded date has arrived and passed). If you received the scores you wanted, congratulations! The two years of stress and sleepless nights paid off for you. That stress is unreal. I could not have been the only person on Reddit the next day of the exam to make sure the grade boundaries will save us.
If you didn’t receive the scores you wanted, don’t worry. Remember that you are much more than a number out of 45, and that there is still much more life to be enjoyed ahead of you. Given that we’re going through a major pandemic, just being here is an achievement. Remember to take time for yourself before coming back stronger.
To our now graduating students, we hope that IBlieve helped you in your preparations, no matter how big or small a role we played. Please be sure to leave your feedback for us so we can continue to improve our resources for our rising Year 1 and Year 2 students. While we’re sad to see you leave, we’re extremely proud of every single student, and look forward to all the accomplishments you’ll gain. Enjoy your summer! Consider applying as a Grad Writer when the applications open! Keep an eye on this newsletter throughout the rest of this year for the information.
(Year 1 —> Year 2 students, I hate to rain on the parade but you still have to study. Check out this week’s newsletter for some help getting ahead!)
