Sheema is more Persian actually (nitpicking about origins, hooray). The Indian name is actually Seema, but then again, India is pretty varied with naming. I've never met a Sheema myself though.
Also, while Shiva is in fact Indian, the name is pronounced as Shiv. The main reason this is the case is because when a Devnagari language is written, the final sound is written as a whole letter (the script allows for half and whole sounds), despite not being pronounced as such. It's also a very, very masculine name, so if someone is actually trying to name Sheema that, then I am slightly troubled. Seriously, it's so masculine that Hindus worship the dude's dong.
Cheating Tips

I didn't take physics, though I do the IB, and I can safely say that cheating in the IB can get you horribly screwed where I live. The grading system isn't weighted either, so if we do badly, well, we do badly. Psychology HL for example asks for a 72% to get a 7. Our class average is about 60%, but the grade boundaries are not changed.
Any subject at HL means that you can ostensibly get college credits, as well as see a lot of repeat material.
(Since we do basic physics from grade 8 onward, just about anyone can take SL physics, if not HL.)
