1. Understand IB Task Types and Format
In Language B, you’ll write responses ranging from formal letters, essays, articles, to email exchanges, aligned with IB themes (Identities, Experiences, Social Organization, etc.). RevisionDojo provides prompts for core IB writing formats to sharpen awareness of expectations. (revisiondojo.com)
2. Write with Structured Practice Methods
- 📝 Daily Warm-Up Writing: Start with short (50–80 word) responses on everyday scenarios; gradually increase to IB task lengths (250–400 words).
- 📂 Theme-Based Practice Packs: Use IB-aligned prompts within core themes to ensure relevance and vocabulary retention.
RevisionDojo’s theme-aligned email and article prompts reinforce formal tone and structural conventions. (revisiondojo.com)
3. Leverage RevisionDojo Feedback Tools
- Use peer review and self-assessment checklists based on IB criteria to track cohesion, grammar accuracy, and vocabulary choice.
- Revision grids help identify common errors and improvement areas.
These tools support focused revisions that align closely with gradeband expectations. (revisiondojo.com)
4. Improve Accuracy with Targeted Drills
- Practice grammar drills (e.g. verb conjugations, agreement, tenses) using practice sentences similar to task contexts.
- Use vocabulary flashcards linked to IB themes—reinforce with usage in mini writing prompts.
RevisionDojo combines grammar and vocab support with real-world IB task examples to reinforce contextual accuracy. (revisiondojo.com)
5. Simulate Timed Writing Conditions
- Set time limits when practicing IB tasks—e.g. 20 minutes for writing a formal email or 40 minutes for an essay.
- Practice writing, proofreading, and editing within those timeframes to build speed and stamina.
RevisionDojo provides mock timed writing packs to replicate exam conditions under IB word-count and timing guidelines. (revisiondojo.com)
6. Reflect and Revise Habitually
- Self-evaluate each writing task using criteria: content relevance, cohesion and development, language accuracy, and register.
- Re-write the same prompt after a gap (e.g. one week) and compare improvements.
