sagiiss Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Is it better to take Studies and get a high grade or take Math SL and get a lower grade? Is the course more important than the actual grade? (If you don't want to study anything that has to do with science / math / etc at Uni).(And you want to study in the US). Thankful for answers Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankful for answers It honestly depends on what uni you're going to and what specific field you're applying for I think. If they don't have really strict requirements, it'd be good to take studies and get a high mark in it than a low mark in SL. However, you may be limited in what unis you can apply to. You may not be able to apply to those top unis such as the Ivy Leagues if that's what you wanted Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey, it really depends on the course you want to take and the university you want to go to. There are many universities in US which don't care about whether you've taken studies or SL, but then again, there are many that do. Check out the university websites and see if they require you to take SL. If not, its better to take studies. If you're required to take SL, then you'll have to work your ass of to get the best grade you can. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB Examiner Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Look at the admissions for the University you are trying to apply to. A lot of universities have prerequisite courses you need to take and complete. If they do not then hell, take studies and get a higher mark.
