Just work hard and im sure you'll get it man! I was looking into IB but I want to explore all my options. Loads of family members have gone into IB but I really want to consider all options because economics can get you into a lot of jobs.


Yeah hopefully, I guess it's all about the TSA now! Gonna really need to get my head around it. Yeah Economics can lead to many career options and I'm not too sure if I do want to go into IB tbh.

I really don't know whether to go for Economics or Economics and Politics :frown:( you?

It's going badly, I haven't really started it. How's yours going?

I'd say it depends what kind of profession you are looking to go into. If you are unsure you should do economics and politics because you will then learn both subjects.
Im on my 2nd draft believe me you need to get something down like a plan what to put where then keep making it better. Just look at examples online as well for inspiration :smile: hope it helps!
Ugh 3 days. I'm excited to see my friends again and learn new things, but I'm weirded out because LAST YEAR OF SCHOOL!!!

I started two weeks ago!! Hey guys, I think I'll join in this thread if that's okay. :tongue:

Anyone doing any of these subjects?

English Language
English Literature
History

(also doing an EPQ!)


I do the exact same subjects (Bar Language as I finished the A2 last year.) What a coincidence!
