Is IB worth it?

If you want a more much larger workload for less outcome, do IB.

That is all. I chose IB because I wanted to learn stuff. And I learned so much more than the AP counterparts. The 4HL2SL limitation is silly though, why can’t I test in all 6 of my HL classes?

IB History is infinitely more enriching than AP history, (just compare test formats…) and Math HL is far more difficult than any AP math course. Further Maths is even harder, I’d imagine.

Comp Sci has you do a practical project over a loooooong time, and the writeup is tedious but I’ve used this same format on the field, and it was almost word-for-word the syllabus for the intro CS class I previewed.

Science: You’ll learn faster, but I’m not sure you’ll learn more given the options in IB.
