AndreiD Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hello people! I will start IB in the fall and have not yet decided on all my subjects. I have a major dillema when it comes to choosing my English. To understand a bit better - in the native language group I have my native language SL and in my second group I have French SL. I am skipping the beautiful arts so I can choose English but I have no idea which one to choose. It's clear that I need it to be HL. I am also very aware of the fact that I am not that good at interpreting texts so most probably I would get a better grade in English B than in English A. My question is - do universities (in the UK - going for economics/business degree) favor a higher score or an English A diplomma? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 It depends... I know the majority of UK universities accept English B Higher Level with a 6 or above, whereas in English A you would need to have at least a 5. If you know the specific university you want to go to, you should check the entry requirements. Hope this helps and good luck in the IB Btw, it also depends on the course you want to take.

Gaby Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I would go for English B if I were you, there's no point subjecting yourself to A HL if you're not good at analysing stuff, and you need good grades in your HLs to get into uni, because that's what they care about the most. You don't need English A to study in the UK. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
