Should I take Math HL?? How was your experience in it?

I took IB Math HL in my school and absolutely loved it. I had a fantastic teacher and he made the course feel so easy. However, I’d point out that the only reason why I did so well in my exam was because I had one-on-one help with my teacher and I could go to him at pretty much any time of the day to get help. Now, taking the course online, I do not know how it will work but if you are like me and need help readily available, you should think deeply about it because it makes the class much harder. Also, if your math aptitude is not too high, you should also consider that before choosing to take the class online.

And, as @cliffnotes mentioned, it might just be his school that the first year of HL was like SL. In my school and most of the other IB schools around me, the curricula vastly varies. Like how HL and SL would answer the same first few questions for a humanity class and then HL would have an additional question, that is not the case at all in Math HL and SL. The papers are different right from the start.
