IB Entrance Exam Preparation

Let me guess: you've been stressed about your upcoming entrance exams and don't know if you're prepared at all for what's inside them. Guess what? You've come to the right place because I've got you covered. In this post, I cover all the different areas you'll be covering in your entrance exams by creating an archive containing different resources from all over the world which helped me tremendously in preparing for my exams!

Essay Prompts:
To be prepared for any type of philosophical, unusual or otherwise unexpected essay prompts examiners may throw at you when you're trying in for a school, these resources will provide you valuable essay prep for any entrance exam you may come across.

Bubble sheets:

Okay, you may ask: "What are bubble sheets and why are they important for entrance exam prep?" Well, I'm glad you asked. These bubble sheets, combined with the respective tests they're meant to be used for, were a lifesaver for me. I used to use way too many pieces of paper to write down my answers to multiple choice questions. Now, with these bubble sheets in the link below, I finally found a way to do all types of practice tests again and again online while saving precious money, paper and time. 

It not only automatically marks you once you've finished the exam (so you don't have to spend time leafing through the answer key), but it also keeps a track record of the subject areas you perform best in (and worst), giving you a super in-depth analysis of exactly what you need to improve. This has by far been one of the most useful tools I've used while preparing for all sorts of exams, so I highly recommend making an account and checking it out:

By the way, if you find yourself lost in figuring out how to go around the website, don't worry because I did too. Spend some time really looking through all of the website's nooks and crannies, because all of the gadgets within the website are super helpful at helping you boost your scores!

Multiple choice papers:

Below you will find all the practice exams I used to prepare for my entrance exams. These links took me a long time to compile, so I hope they will be of use to any person that may feel they need an extra boost in entrance exam prep! Each link has a variety of exams within it covering all sorts of subject areas and they approach questions in a very similar manner to the entrance exams I did.

Sidenote: nearly all of the links included below are continuously expanding the amount of practice tests within them, and for free!
