Why Enhanced Prep?

Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

Our tutors are intimately familiar with the content that students can encounter in these courses, as well as the different kinds of assignments that they might be given and how to best approach them. We understand that every student will struggle with different aspects of this course, and so we listen to each student’s input to determine what strategies will work best for them to maximize their chances of passing their class and exam.

What Is IB Biology?

IB Biology is one of six sciences courses that are offered as part of the Diploma Program (DP) from International Baccalaureate (IB). This course is taken by students who are still in high school, but the topics taught are more often associated with college-level biology courses. This course can contribute to students being awarded a diploma alongside others, thus distinguishing them from their peers and potentially granting them college credits as they progress toward beginning higher education. The score that students receive is determined by the exam, which is comprised of internal and external examinations. These are given throughout the school year and cover topics taught in the course including genetics, cell biology, evolution, population biology, and biostatistics.

The IB Biology Exam: What You Need to Know

As was briefly stated before, the IB Biology exam is comprised of a series of internal and external examinations for which they are registered automatically with the course. The internal exam involves students developing a research question and using their skills to gather original data that can provide answers or insight pertaining to it. This accounts for 20% of the overall score with 10 hours allotted for completion. There are two separate tests for the external examinations, the first of which involves a series of selected-response and data analysis questions and the second of which involves a series of written-response questions pertaining to data analysis and biological concepts. For a standard level IB Biology course, 3 hours are allotted for the external test, whereas the higher-level course is given 4.5 hours. Calculators are not permitted on the external exam. After completion, students will be scored on a scale of 1 to 7, with 7 representing the highest level of performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IB Biology hard?

Because IB Biology introduces students to biology at a higher level than high school biology and requires more extensive work, it will be more difficult than other courses that they may have encountered. At both the standard and higher levels, IB Biology sees students learn about the anatomy and physiology of cells, basic biochemistry, population biology, plant biology, and microbiology. Students can often find both the nature and sheer volume of content that they are faced with in this course challenging, and this is exactly where an online IB Biology tutor from Enhanced Prep can help. Our professional tutors get to know every student personally and thus can understand their strengths and weaknesses to help them in the best way possible.

When do I need to start studying for the IB Biology exam?

When preparing for an IB Biology exam, the most important thing that a student can do is to begin as early as possible. By setting aside more time, students ensure that they can effectively cover all of the materials that they will be assessed on without feeling rushed, thus allowing them to retain as much of it as possible. Equally as important is having a structured study plan, which an IB Biology tutor from Enhanced Prep can help with. Here, we understand that no one method of studying will work for every student, and so we spend the time needed with every student to understand how they learn best to ensure that they are prepared when test day rolls around.

Do I need to do well in my IB Biology class to pass the test?

Because the internal and external assessments are administered through the IB Biology course itself in order to assess the materials learned here directly, performing well in the classroom is very important to students’ success on the tests. As the different portions of the examination are completed throughout the school year, students must remain vigilant in their study efforts. By having IB Biology help from Enhanced Prep by their side, students can ensure that they have the best chance of success on these assessments. By focusing on the whole student, we understand what every student needs and where they are in their academic journeys in each course and overall, thus giving us the insight necessary to help them succeed in their endeavors.

Do I need to pass the IB Biology exam to pass the class?

As was stated before, the IB Biology assessments are integrated into the course itself, and thus largely determine the outcome that students will achieve. As such, students need to study well for these exams to ensure that they perform to the best of their abilities and achieve the grade that they want in the course. Our IB Biology tutors at Enhanced Prep understand that this course is fast-paced, and that students will need to focus on very different tasks, sometimes all at once. This is why we always listen to input and focus on the students’ most immediate needs to ensure that they are always getting the help that they need when they need it most.

How do I choose an IB Biology tutor?

When searching for the right tutor, students should look first and foremost for someone who will always be available to help them when they need it, and wherever they feel most comfortable. In addition to this, it is important that students find a tutor who will listen carefully to their questions and concerns and will get to know them personally to understand how they communicate and learn the best. These are only a few of the qualities that each of our tutors possesses here at Enhanced Prep. Our tutors understand what all of their students need, and even go so far as to become their friends. In fact, students look forward to their next tutoring appointment often because of this. So, give Enhanced Prep a try today for a world-class tutoring experience!
