I’ve tried finding the answers to my questions for a while now, but I’m still confused so I figured I might as well ask here. Sorry if this is the wrong section. I couldn’t find any answers anywhere else.

I’m taking the IB diploma, but I’m not sure where to list IB economics and IB theory of knowledge. I listed IB economics as the world cultures/history/ etc one since that the closest description to the course, but I read that IB economics is a “g” course (so do I put college elective?).

If IB economics doesn’t count as an “a” course (the history one) and the other other class I have for that section if AP comp. gov, do I stand at a disadvantage?

I’ve taken no other “a” courses besides 9th grade Social Studies, IB economics, and AP comp. gov and politics.

There it says that international students should take other history/social sciences courses to fulfill this requirement if US history or the history of their home country is not available.

Does this mean that I should list IB economics as an “a” course, or should I list it as an “f” course and hope they count it as fulfilling the requirement?

Also, I’ve taken no “g” courses (visual arts, etc). The only things that home close are web design, multimedia design, and video editing, but I’m not sure these count.For IB TOK, do I list it as an elective, or do I list when it asks for courses other than a-g?

Thanks for any help guys!

Also, if a course is called “web design” (we did some programming, etc), do I put it at an elective or do I list it as a non a-g course?
