Tangmello Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hey guys! Right now I am in pre-IB and have gone through French I to III...However I strongly dislike it and I don't want to take French or Spanish (the only classes offered at my school). I recently discovered there might be a possibility to take a different language (for me it would be Japanese). I am not completely sure though. I was going to ask after Spring Break...I would like to know if anyone has ever done something like study at a community college and taken the IB exam? Or do you have to take an actual IB class?

timtamboy63 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm not entirely sure whether you can, however here's the route I'd take. Ask your IB Supervisor if you can take the course online (I'm sure there's somewhere offering it, try Pamoja). Then, talk to the online course people, and agree with them to self study, and to just use the online course for internal assessments and such. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your coordinator if he/she has access to the arabic ab initio language specific syllabus. It contains all of the vocabulary and grammar lexicons you will need for the exams.

pennywise256 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm just into the same situation than you. I'm going to France for one year as an Exchange student, so I think that when I get back I will be able to undergo the IB examinations for French B HL just right Even if we aren't even taught French at school I used to think that wasn't possible because schools kind of "bought" some subjects, and you couldn't get examined in those they wouldn't have bought, but now I discovered you're free to take any one in any part of the world !
