The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is known for its depth, rigor, and global perspective. Whether you’re a student in the MYP or IBDP program, success isn’t just about studying more — it’s about studying smart. At Newtonine, we work closely with educators and students to understand what truly makes a difference. Here are five study habits that top-performing IB students consistently follow.
1. Plan with Purpose
Don’t leave your revision to the last minute. Create a weekly study schedule that aligns with your syllabus and exam dates. Break your study blocks into subjects and subtopics, and leave time for review and quizzes.
2. Use Active Recall & Spaced Practice
Reading notes isn’t enough. Practice retrieval through timed quizzes and flashcards, and space out your revision over weeks. Newtonine’s timed quizzes and question banks are designed to help you master this technique.
3. Focus on Understanding, Not Memorization
The IB curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding. Use diagrams, real-world examples, and video explanations (like the ones we offer) to deepen your grasp of challenging topics like stoichiometry or vector resolution.
4. Reflect on Mistakes
Mistakes are part of the learning process — but only if you review them. After every quiz or test, analyze what went wrong and revisit those concepts. Newtonine tracks your performance and helps you focus where it matters most.
5. Prioritize Wellbeing
IB life is busy, but sleep, nutrition, and downtime matter. A rested mind retains information better and solves problems more efficiently. Create balance, not burnout.
