The consolidation phase refers to the critical weeks in DP2 where Internal Assessments (IAs), TOK essays, and mock exam preparation converge. It is often the most stressful period of the IB Diploma, requiring strategic organization to avoid burnout.

This framework structures revision into four distinct phases: Content Consolidation & Gap Filling (Week 1), Active Recall & Topical Questions (Week 2), Past Paper Simulation (Week 3), and Review & Refine (Week 4) to ensure a targeted approach to exams.

Use the "State of Play" Audit to track status. If more than three items are still in the "Drafting" phase, we recommend prioritizing finishing one completely before starting mock revision to "clear the mental deck" for better focus.

Our tutors—many of whom are top-scoring IB graduates or examiners—don't just teach content; they coach students on exam stamina, time management, and specific marking criteria. On average, our students improve their final score by 1.5 points per subject.

You will meet with a Student Success Expert for 20–30 minutes to discuss your child's current workload and goals. You'll walk away with a clear plan, priorities, and next steps, with absolutely no obligation to purchase tutoring.

Yes. We match students with experts in their specific subjects and levels (HL/SL). Whether it's complex Math HL concepts or structuring a History IA, we have specialized tutors ready to help your child succeed.
