Question 4: I am afraid for completing my CAS requirement. How should I go about it?
Answer: Try doing more CAS in grade 11. There is no need to worry if that is not your current case. You should have an idea of the remaining amount of work left. Do not overindulge in many activities if you are worried to balance your time.
You can first complete your requirements and then keep doing CAS (I would personally recommend doing some activity to keep you refreshed even after the requirements are completed)
Question 5: Are there any good prospects for studying in India after the IBDP?
Answer: Yes, there are. There are quite a few good colleges which cater to a similar kind of education received in the IBDP. Do not fall into the trap that if one does the IBDP, that person goes abroad.
Question 6: How are bonus three points graded?
Answer: The extra three points is a cumulative score of your TOK and EE. To understand what grade you need to earn the bonus points, research the IBDP bonus points table.

Question 7: Is it recommended to apply to many colleges?
Answer: This is a personal choice. However, my suggestion would be that spend more time in making a good list of the colleges that you wish to apply to. This might help you to stay focused and give you a greater chance to work effectively on your resume and essays.
Question 8: Should I choose and early decision or early action?
Answer: Choose early decision only if you are really sure. Have multiple conversations with your counselor or parents. This is because ED is binding and you do not want to regret later. Therefore, if not sure, early action is always recommended.
Question 9: I am stuck with my Maths IA topic. What should I do?
Answer: I believe majority people find a difficulty in finding a good Maths IA topic. My personal suggestion is to make a chart and brainstorm all your ideas out there.
First, find what you are interested in.
Second, brainstorm the ways in which you can connect mathematics to your passion.
Third, discard the most common ideas and think of how you can make your IA unique from the billion samples that are available on the internet.
