nateC Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi, I am going into IB for the 2018-2019 school year. I have a general idea of what I want my course to be, HL Chem HL Bio HL Lang/Lit HL Geography SL Math SL Spanish My main concern is SL Math, currently I am in Honors PreCalculus and I hear that a good part of SL Math will be what I learned this year in HPC. I am on the fence for math, I want to do HL, but I also want to double on science and keep geography to raise my grade. For the future, I want to go to Medical School, so I think the double science is important. I wonder what you guys think about my current plan and your plan. Thanks!

Lixter Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 If you are studying medicine, you do not need HL Math so I will suggest you not to take HL Math as it is really a demanding course which will take up a bulk of your time.

Sidhu_pandoriala Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I am also going into Ib in 2018/19 and originally I was also doing 2 HL sciences. However, some people told me that was unnecessary and too difficult. Also, if you are taking full IB, I don't think they allow more than 4 HL courses, so if you want HL math you may have to drop one HL to a SL.

t.sw Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 ^^ You can only do a maximum of 4 HL subjects in full IB, and HL Math is a lot of unnecessary extra commitment. HL BIO and CHEM are hard and very content heavy as it is, so keep both of them if you're looking at going into Medicine! If you do HL Math there are generally 2 extra classes/tutorials for it a week on top of other tutorials too hope this helped Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
