<p>I wanted to do IB…
but I think I’m too busy >.<</p>
<p>Guest coming to my house soon…!</p>
<p>Do you have any free time w/ IB? or would it be more worth it to do AP paired with sports, ECS, comm. service, etc?</p>
<p>difference?: HL +SL</p>
<p>^ HL is harder. IB system is good if you are a well rounded sort of chap, but can be awful if you find yourself to excel in either sciences or humanities and are not as good i the other.</p>
<p>Ok, IB really is just time management. I have IB friends who play sports, lively in ECS, and head community service projects.</p>
<p>HL - Higher Level. Go into Further depth and subject matter than a lot of classes. HL Math is considered the hardest. 2 Year</p>
<p>SL- Standard Level, Not as rigorous, but still in general are tough. Except for SL math, these are 1 year.</p>
<p>^^ Exactly what TYIL said.</p>
<p>Except Now to get my CS + engineering concentration to the dismay of my IB Coordinator, I have to take CS SL and Physics I. Then I have to take CS HL, which you would give me 5 HLs, and Physics SL, along with my other 4 HLs, which is 6. I said goodbye to diploma months ago.</p>
<p>You forgot CAS and EE and TOK. TYIL - are you an IBer as well?</p>
<p>^ No I am doing A-Levels and Pre-Us. I’d hate to be an IBer as I am not what one might call an “all-rounder”</p>
<p>^^^ I think the one-year, two-year thing depends on what school you go to. I think American schools tend to go SL one year, HL two years, while international schools do both for two years. And I thought you could take as many HLs as you want?</p>
<p>If you do the full Diploma, as opposed to individual certificates, then I think you can only humanly take max 4 HLs. The Diploma goes over two years and includes:</p>
<p>CAS - creativity, action and service (basically compulsory ECs - good for those of us applying to the US!)
Extended Essay - a loong paper
Theory of Knowledge - an epistemology course which can be wonderfully stimulating or dead boring depending on the teacher. Guess which kind of teacher I go. -.-</p>
<p>HSL is distracting me a LOT.</p>
<p>I haven’t studied at ALL today. :/</p>
<p>^ SAME!! Oh God there has never been an exam for which I have studied less and this is THE most important set of exams!!! Oh God, please be on my side just this once…</p>
<p>I KNOW!!!</p>
<p>Ugh this is like 20% of my trimester grade… I NEED to boost my grade in math!!! gotta keep my grade up in spanish…! ahh!</p>
<p>please… why did i have to think of the blog now… not in a week…!</p>
<p>My predicted grades for my uni acceptances depend on this!!! Im going to go to pray :(</p>
<p>^ HA! Thank you American Higher Education for your non-conditional offers!</p>
<p>^^ GOOD LUCK!</p>
<p>bye</p>
<p>Thanks, good luck to everyone else as well. ^^ That’s why I like the US system</p>
<p>Great. Now I have to put on my pants because I have guests coming over.</p>
<p>I’ve decided that I’m too lazy for IB thanks lol, I’ll stick w/ honors/AP</p>
<p>^. Eh, you don’t wear pants around your house?</p>
<p>^^sans pants? o.O …understandable.</p>
