The tests aren't as hard as you might think it is based on the material. You should consider taking notes though- they may be useful later as not all the details are on the slideshow. Mr. Parravani uses a brainstorm method where he has a slide and then uses a whiteboard marker to further expand on an idea.

- do your readings (I know it's a lot but trust me it does WONDERS, and also he asks you in class about readings to be prepared to participate) - speaking of participation, he is big on it and will give you bonus marks - his quizzes and tests are very fair and nothing new from what was taught in class - never be afraid to ask questions, he'll explain very well

ToK, actually think about the content and if you've though pretty deeply about it and considered as many possibilites as possible you'll be fine, discussions are the best way to get better

Super funny teacher, responds well to bribes (jk... ), consider yourself lucky to have him as your teacher - you probably won't find a better one at St. Robs, he knows what he's doing (most of the time), overall one of the best I've ever had.
