Current mood: None chosen
I am currently in yr 12, doing both chinese and eng A language n literature
my chinese is not very good compared to the others in my language a class
Most people in my school do one language A and one B, so I am worried that choosing 2 language A s will give me a lower IB score, n the work load might be too high.  so i am now considering if i should change to chinese b SL. (i cant do chinese B HL, as I 've already got 3 HL subjects, which i do not want to change
i am still considering as I am worried that chinese B sl might be too easy for me, as i dont want to change to a class where I cant learn any thing new

I would do chinese B SL (if you're not chinese). Honestly, chinese b sl (and all the b sl) is still challenging for non-chinese people.

Two Language A's will give you a respected bilingual diploma. Drop Chinese A and do Chinese B if you are not Chinese.

IMO A [slightly] better chance to get accepted when applying to a uni. It's just more respected because it is harder.
