As I’m sure you all know, the International Baccalaureate is a wonderful program. :) This is why we at Intense Cogitation have developed this revision resource to help you in your struggle against the IB. Our IB section contains tips and notes on numerous popular subjects, along with random rants and comedy to break the monotony of revision.
For subject-specific notes or general IB info, just look for the “International Baccalaureate Notes” link box on the right sidebar. It should contain almost everything you need. You could also just keep scrolling until you see the numbered navigation on the bottom of the page. If you’re looking for something really specific, try out our search box on the right. :D
If we don’t have the notes you need, just let us know via our Contact page, which is one of the links at the top right in a peach-ish colour. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, if you wish to contribute YOUR wonderful notes, also let us know via the Contact page.
Why are we doing this? Because we want you to succeed. (seriously!)
