Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hey everyone, so I'm going to choose my (grade 11) courses soon and need help from students who have been in these courses. What is the course/work load like for these:HL Bio 3UEHL Chem 3UEHL Physics 3UEHL Math 4U1I want to take all of them because it will help me for university (like advanced placement and stuff) but a lot of people have told me that I shouldn't because I will burnout and won't be able to keep good marks in my subjects, although I haven't talked to many students who actually took those courses.Thoughts anyone?

Are you pursuing the diploma or only a certificate? I'm pursuing the diploma and it will help with tuition payment because if I can skip first year university, then I can lower the cost by $10 000 which would be really helpful.

Gaby Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 If you're doing the diploma, then taking all 3 sciences would either mean you'd be doing an irregular diploma (no group 3, and a science as group 6) or 7 subjects. Irregular diploma might not be accepted everywhere (but I've zero idea about Canada, sorry) and you need to get a special permission to do it. 7 subjects with 3 sciences at HL AND maths HL is borderline suicidal. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eross Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 first: are you sure you want to take three sciences? Like Gaby said, it'd be considered an irregular diploma. Plus, you'd be insane to take all three of them at higher level + math. Drop one of the four to SL -- year one might not seem too bad, but year two will be hell- you'd have to do 4 IAs at HL and that takes time. If I were you, I would take three HLs (the three sciences, or two sciences + maths) and leave the other subject at SL. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
