otislover18 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I started the IB at the beginning of September with these subjects:English A lit HLBiology HLEconomics HLGeography SLFrench A lang&lit SLMath SLI have been scoring well (at least a 6) in all of my subjects except for maths. I knew this would be the case because Math has always been my weakness, but I really don't want it to penalize me in my future studies. I definitely don't want to go into anything Science-related, more like something to do with journalism, media, or international relations. In terms of universities my first-choice country is the US, but I'm also looking into the Netherlands (Maastricht University) because it's a lot cheaper. I was wondering if switching down to Studies would penalize me in my university applications, and also if it would lead to difficulties when doing university-level math (I will definitely avoid it if I can but in some cases it is compulsory for the first few years)? I think I can get at least a 6 in studies as I have already looked at the exercises my friends in studies were doing. Please help because I have to decide by the end of the week!!Thank you!

IBgremlin Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi, Be careful of dropping to Maths Studies if you are looking at the Netherlands as they usually want Maths SL for Social Sciences and studies only works for the humanities.
