Valentyn Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I ook IB chemistry and switched from HL to SL quiet early in the year. NOw I regret my choice so much, as I really like the course and it is on of the easier ones to get your head around. What do you think of it?

~Lc~ Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 yea it's definitley one of the easier ones, I mean I did HL and was very much capable of a 7 if I put as much effort into it as I did for VA HL go for it, HL is much more demanding than SL, SL is bascially piss but it's all very interesting overall...

IBStuck Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 i think Hl is really really hard, but science isn't my stong point. i had planned on taking SL, bt my new school only offers it HL. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iber2468 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ooo me too! I dropped HL this year for SL. Last year, I remember studying for weeks on ends and only pulling off an agonizing 5. This year, 2 hours of study for anything max and I get an easy 7. Chem is now my fav subject.

Forester Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 The HL people do better on average than the SL people? I suppose that makes sense, because only the people who are really interested in the subject would take HL, and only those people who aren't particularly fond of it would take SL. This is the majority of cases, and of course there are exceptions. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Lc~ Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 pfft you people are crazy! chem HL was one of the most interesting subjects I did! I really wish I put more effort into it now... but oh well really it's no as hard as you think it is! it's pretty simple you just need to go over it 1000 times Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterglow Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I WISH and when I say wish, I really mean wish, that I found chemistry easy and interesting. I've always had trouble with it, no matter how much I try. There's been times when I have thought I have known the answers only to be proven wrong. Chemistry is the subject that makes me doubt and question my ability to become a doctor I have it as SL. The teacher isn't that very good so sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to have taken it at HL but I don't know. It's just so hard Edited January 26, 2008 by Afterglow Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBStuck Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 my teacher doesn't know how to teach the subject to make it understandable to ALL of his students less that half odf out class is pasing... doesn't that tell you something?

Valentyn Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Unfortunately it is already too late for me to change into HL.This is one of the things about my choices that I actually wish I wouldnt do... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBStuck Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 A 2? Isn't that like on the extreme verge of failing? Y did they take chemistry? Usually people who aren't good at sciences take biology SLwe only offer sience as HL at my school... shem or bio. so if you are a diaploma it is one or the other but the paople who are expecting a 2 or 3 are certificates.
