# What IB Top Scorers Do Differently in Their Final 10 Days
📅 1. They Stop Adding, Start Refining
No new notes in the last 10 days.
Focus =clarity over coverage.
Re-teach key topics to a friend or to your camera — teaching exposes weak spots faster than any quiz.
🧮 2. They Run Micro-Mocks
Instead of full past papers, they do 20-minute question bursts:
1 Paper 1 short answer + 1 data response + 1 evaluation mini-essay.
This keeps recall sharp without burnout.
📈 3. They Quantify Progress
Track marks, not hours.
Use StudyIB's score tracker or a spreadsheet:
Date | Paper | Mark / Total | Weak Area.
Pattern recognition = faster gains.
🧘 4. They Protect Energy
Caffeine cutoff = 3 p.m.
Screen-free = 30 min before bed.
Light exercise = focus amplifier.
No one performs at 7/7 with 4 hours of sleep.
💬 5. They Simulate Pressure
Every other day, replicate exam timing + silence.
When the real paper hits, your brain says:"We've been here before."
