What the app is

StudyDP is a free iPhone app for IB Diploma students. It has an IB grade calculator, a countdown to your exam session, a place for your own IA, EE and TOK deadlines, and notes for IB Economics with model answers and practice questions you mark yourself. There is no account, no ads and nothing to buy, and everything works offline.

Setting up your subjects

On the Today screen, tap Choose subjects and pick your six subjects, each at HL or SL. The diploma is six subjects with three or four at HL, and the app tells you when your choice is a valid diploma. To change them later, tap Edit next to Your subjects, or Your subjects under Tools. Your subjects fill in the grade calculator for you.

The exam countdown

Choose your session, May or November and the year, on the Today screen. The countdown runs to the first day of that month, because IB exams begin in the opening days of the session. Your own timetable will differ by a few days, so if you want exact dates, add them as deadlines.

Deadlines

Open Deadlines under Tools on the Today screen. Tap the plus button to add a deadline, with a date and, if you like, a subject. Tap a deadline to change it, or swipe it left to delete it. The next one shows on your Today screen. The app does not include any IB dates, because your school sets your deadlines.

The grade calculator

Open the Calculator tab and enter a grade for each subject, your TOK and Extended Essay grades, and tick CAS when it is complete. The app adds up your points out of 45, shows the bonus points from TOK and the EE, and checks all nine conditions for the diploma award. Your official results only show the first condition a student fails; the app shows all nine, so you can see everything you would need to fix. What you enter is saved, so it is still there next time.

Notes and practice

The Subjects tab shows the subjects that have notes in the app. Each topic has key terms, diagrams, model answers, common mistakes and real-world examples. Tap Mark as read at the end of a topic, or the circle at the top, to track your progress. The Today screen shows the next topic you have not read yet, under Continue. Practice questions are not marked for you: write your answer, then tick each point an examiner would have found, and the app adds up the marks you gave yourself.

Search

Open the Search tab to find a topic by its title or by a key term, such as elasticity.

iPad

StudyDP is designed for iPhone. On an iPad it runs as an iPhone app.
