Hi, I am an 8th grader and I have been planning to go into the IB program once I am a junior. At the high school I am going to go, you are required to be in the Pre-IB/ Scholars program to register into the actual IBDP. A lot of my friends have told me not to and that I will have no social life if I do this. However, I knew someone who did the IBDP while playing basketball and working. I would like to know if it is really as burdening as people make it sound. (I know it is different for everyone depending on personal choices) I would also like to know what subjects would be best for me to take. These are the classes I would like to take: - English SL - Math…

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if anyone could help me with my personal project. I started the project choosing to focus on gender equality and the price gap between female and male products. My plan was to investigate the reasons why these differences exist and then create a business plan for a "fake" company which would sell products of equal price for female and male. I chose to this mostly because I've always been interested in creating a business. However, my supervisor is now telling me that my project doesn't work as I don't have a real product. He wants me to write a math investigation based on statistics or a poster campaign, two things that I have absolutel…

Hello, the subjects listed the below are what I am planning to take for my first year in IB (2019): (The highlighted subjects means I have strongly locked into these subjects) Maths HL Physics HL Economics HL Business & Management HL English Lit SL Mandarin ab-initio I am planning on pursuing a career in engineering/business/computer science (My school doesn't offer CS), and I am also planning on going to a top university but many sources state that B&M is considered a soft subject and will lower my chances of getting accepted. Would I be better off switching my 4HLs to 3 with the addition of chemistry HL instead of E…

I had ideas in mind such as joining internships, organizing events, starting clubs, school president etc., but I'm not sure what else to do. I wanted to start a non-profit but that's difficult to do especially since I'm in high school, any ideas?? - I also got internship opportunities at a lab hospital but that does not really have anything to do with my area of study?

Hey, I would like some advice and suggestion on what subjects I should select for DP, as the title indicates I want to specialize in the Econ/B&M area. These are my choices: Math HL, Econ HL, B&M HL/Bio HL, lang lit sl, spanish sl, bio/b&m sl. My first concern is that is B&m needed for my area and is it seen as a soft subject. Also is Math HL necessary for Econ or B&m area.

HI guys! So I really want to get into either IB or AP program in high school, and just want to understand what exactly is on the test (for both programs). I've heard and read other people saying that there's an english and math component (for me there's 100% no french on the test), but if anyone knows what EXACT subjects are incorporated into the math and english (like what are the questions like), PLEASE do reply and share. I don't have a lot of time....only a few months left. The open house is in October, and I would greatly appreciate if anyone who's already in IB or AP programs to write down any sample questions that they remember, or some essay questions that…

Hello everyone, I am an ex IGCSE student going into IB in September. These are my subject choices: English A HL Arabic A SL Psychology HL (online) Biology HL Math SL Chemistry SL my only problem with this subject choice is biology as my memory is not the very best. My predicament is a lot of people encourage me to do math HL and physics HL. I do enjoy both subjects however I don’t know what career choice they will lead me to.

My last year of MYP (10th grade) ended 2 weeks ago, and I read through my math scores just now. Oh my god I fcked up so bad I didn't study for any of my math tests due to my personal insecurities (haha). I literally got 1's for every criterion A test in math for my final year of MYP -- my scores for the other math criterions are fine though. How do I improve this once DP Y1 starts in 2 months??? I have no motivation. Should I study the DP textbook throughout summer??? Am I gonna fail in life if i'm extremely bad at math?

Hi, so I will be starting ib in like 1 week and i still can’t decide on how to organize for it. My subjects are: Art HL, English lit HL, Psychology HL Spanish lit SL, Math SL, Biology SL I have thought of two ways: first, to use a binder with dividers to organize all of my notes and papers (to carry it with me at all times) , and having separate binders for each subject at home where I could store the notes and papers that we are no longer using (as well as making my backpack light). The second option that I have Is to buy a 5 subject notebook and have a folder for guides or papers that teachers give us, however I am worried that the pages will not be enou…

Hey guys, I’m going into IBDP-1 in a few days and I have yet not decided which subjects I should be talking in higher level and standard level. I want to purse astrophysics, since I’m very interested in it. My doubt here is where I should be taking Chemistry as my HL subject or Comp.Science as my Hl subject *Note I’m taking both Comp.Science as well as Chemisty but the confusion is which should I pursue with Hl and whether they might be any consequence of doing so.

Hello! I'd like to ask for your opinions for this combination of subjects. HL's: English Literature, Maths, Physics SL's: Chemsitry, ITGS, Spanish Ab Initio I intend to study Physics (or possibly Aerospace Engineering) at uni as I love the subject and I'm quite good at it, and pretty much all uni's require Physics and Math at Higher Level. What I wanted to ask is: •Would taking English Literature at HL instead of Chemistry at HL put me at a disadvantage? I've heard that although Chemistry isn't required candidates studying it are desired, (I'm quite good at Chemistry as well, but I have no idea how difficult HL is compared to SL as I've h…

I’m a little conflicted about choosing which subjects to take as higher levels. My school forces us to take English and History HL, so I basically only get the option of one other HL. That will probably be Chem, but I’m also considering Math HL. Because of my school’s requirements I’ve been considering taking 4 HLs since I hesr that colleges don’t often look at SL classes. I’m a straight A student, but I struggle with time management a lot, and I realize the commitment I’d need to make. Not sure if I’m making any sense here, I’d just appreciate some advice on deciding, maybe some perspective from people taking/who have taken 4 HLs? Thanks!

Hi, I'm sorry if this isn't on the right forum. So I just finished 9th grade and I'm starting high school after summer. I live in Finland so we have the pre-ib year before the actual ib. We got the introduction letter to the school and the list of books we have to buy and suddenly a wave of regret washed over me. Can I actually make it through? Did I actually overestimate my abilities? I did very well in middle school but I think that has more to do with the fact that it was just really easy. Finnish schools (at least before high school) give very little homework and the tests are generally easy. In 8th grade I did quite well even when I didn't study at all, so I thi…

Hey, I need to select my subject this week, and I cant decide whether to do psych SL or econ SL. I was just wondering whether someeone could let me know which is more difficult, and by how much. I think I might be slightly more interested in psych, but since neither one is important for my university of choice, if psych is much more difficult, Id rather go for econ. Thx in advance

Hello, I'm kinda freaking out as I am a perfectionist who wishes to find the best way to organize my way through IB (I'm starting it in August). My HL's (Math, Physics, Psych) and my SL's (Lang & Lit, Mandarin, Econ). What supplies should I buy to best prepare for these such as binders and notebooks. (I'm already buying an accordion folder btw) Also advice for any of these topics is very much appreciated. (ex. homework load, amount of worksheets handed out, how hard the class is in general) + general tips on CAS and my EE would be amazing Thanks in advance !

So, I'm only just starting the Pre-IB program, so this is all new to me. I'm concerned that my biology teacher will be on maternity leave until early next year, and our "substitute" has hardly been giving us any proper instruction in the subject. We're trying to get something done, but is there any way that myself and my peers could teach ourselves the subject? Is there any need to? Actually, could you explain the requirements/exams that we have to take in Pre-IB, too? I feel unprepared and nervous. Thank you!

Hi guys! Recently I decided that Medicine isn't such a good fit for me and the best thing to study for me would be BM (I know it is a completely different subject, but it wasn't a sudden decision, it's reconsidered in every possible way and I'm pretty certain about it) . As I have previously chosen subjects for Medicine, now I've got a problem with choosing those suitable for BM. For now, I'm considering the following subjects: Grupa 1: Polish A SL Grupa 2: English B HL Grupa 3: Business Management HL (90%)/ Economics HL(10%) Grupa 4: Chemistry SL/HL Grupa 5: Mathematics SL/HL Grupa 6: Geography SL, Computer Science SL/HL, History SL, Economi…

The topics in which I am the most interested in general (after high school, as a potential degree or something) would be the following: Psychology, Business Management, Biology, Economi…
