Aether Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 We are about to choose our optional topics for biology and we are not very certain of which are the best. We are a high level class, but all of us are taking the exam in standard level (we have a really ****ty professor and we don't want to take the risk). We are really worried about the IB exams because we don't feel well prepared, and we don't want to have an extra load with a difficult optional topic. Which would you recommend for standard level???

Alouette Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 My biology teacher said that IB biology students at our school tend to do the best on the "Human Health and Nutrition" option. We studied it, and it's not that bad. The other one that's on Neuroscience is a lot harder, in my opinion and in my teacher's. If you have the choice, go for the Human Health one. Plus it's useful and easily applicable to real life if you're health conscious. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenesme Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 At my school, we are doing ecology and conservationism as our first option and evolution as our second option. I would say that ecology and conservationism is a pretty straightforward topic. Evolution is a little bit harder, however the two topics do tie nicely into each other.

Capa Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 My class has chosen the same topics as irenesme. I think they are pretty claerly the easiest options in biology. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBdoc Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 We are taking the Neurobiology option and the Microbes option. I'm still in IB1 but the school decide which options we should take and I'm pretty happy with this choice since I'm interested in both options. They say that students get the best score in these options but I heard the ecology option is pretty easy so you should consider that. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
