Abu Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think that you'll have to take a TOEFL test, but if you're doing the IB Dip, and you're doing English A1 SL / HL , you'll be able to bypass that requirement. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 They may ask you to take it, but it depends if you're taking English HL as a subject. If you are, they most likely won't. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBdoc Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 It depends on your level in Enlgish. If your taking it at higher level, they probably won't ask you to take TOEFEL. Plus, McGill needs Chemistry HL, Biology HL and Maths SL at least for pre-med. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBdoc Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Honestly, unless you need it for college and you're really good at it(and I mean REALLLLYY good), I think Math HL is a waste of grade and a waste of time. It is a hard course and you should expect some work from it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a hard course and you should expect some work from it.By college, you mean university? Math HL isn't needed for pre-med... but probably easier to get a 7 in than English A1 HL. IMO anyway.

IBSQUARED Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) What would happen if your school doesn't offer HL Chem? "Science * Mathematics and two of biology, chemistry or physics at Higher or Standard Level."Best to have the HL bio and HL math to make up for that lack of HL Chem (and SL Chem obviously) Edited November 18, 2008 by IBSQUARED Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
