<p>How were your classes structured? Did you go to an all IB school? Or were your IB classes mixed with AP? The IB doesn’t even allow you to take 5 HL exams; you must have 2 SLs, and taking the exam and doing the coursework is half the problem. I could easily have taken five HL courses, but having to revise all of them and do the exam would be the killer.</p>
