As IB students across the world begin their November exams, everyone at the International Summer School for Teens (ISSFT) is sending our very best wishes.

This moment marks the culmination of months of dedication, late-night study sessions, and endless determination. It’s a time to put your preparation into practice and to approach each paper with confidence and calm.

At ISSFT, we understand how demanding the IB can be — balancing coursework, extended essays, and exam preparation is no small feat. That’s why our Study Skills and Academic English with Study Skills courses are designed to help students develop practical techniques for success: from effective revision strategies and clear essay writing to time management and stress control.

These skills don’t just help with exams — they build lifelong habits for university and beyond. Each summer, we see how students grow in confidence and independence when they learn how to study smarter, communicate effectively, and find balance in their approach to learning.

To all our past, present, and future ISSFT students sitting exams this month: take a deep breath, trust your preparation, and remember how far you’ve come. You’ve got this.
