# 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."
