10. How to ensure you gain your Diploma
In school:
• Know what’s coming - subject term and yearly planners
• Know your key dates
• Attend after-school sessions
• Make study groups
• See teachers out of class time
• Read widely (not just the minimum)
• Visit IB student forums & Diploma help sites
• Use your Study Spares as the precious minutes they are

10. How to ensure you gain your Diploma
Out of school:
• Create a workable and effective Study Schedule:
• ‘Chunks’ of time, rather than endless time
• Real breaks, that are timed
• Build in Reading Time, including Reading for Understanding
• Designated work area, distraction-free
• Write it up, get it reviewed and keep it public

•The true benefit of earning the IB Diploma is intrinsic in nature. The change that occurs within a student academically and personally while pursuing the Diploma produces far greater personal growth and satisfaction than the Diploma itself.
