Note to IB students:

Recently the IB implemented a new syllabus (first exams = May 2016)

This new syllabus is markedly different from the current syllabus in terms of style
(but much of the substance remains the same)

I am currently rebuilding bioninja from the ground up to reflect these changes
(please be patient, this will take a while as I am not currently teaching IB)

I hope to have a SL version ready by the start of 2016
(and possibly a HL version ready by the May exams – but no guarantees!)

I am leaving the old version up until then because some students are still completing the old course (final exams = November 2015)

Once I have completed updating the website, I’ll update the app
(and this time remember to publish the Android version)
