    IB Thread: What subjects did you take, or choose?
    Let's share our IB little moments I am in year 11 and I am going to chose:

    HL English
    HL Biology
    HL Business & Management

    SL Maths
    SL Chinese
    SL History


    What about you? Also, tell us which subject you enjoy the most and the subject you REGRET the most. GRRRR !! USE ICONS to DESCRIBE your feelings towards that subject!

    E.g:

    HL Biology :mad:
    HL English
    HL Maths :eek3:

    "Biology and Maths are my worst subject, but English is great"

    Economics HL
    English HL :yep:
    Psychology HL :woo: :cool:


    Biology SL :o:
    French SL :rolleyes:

    Love humanities, not a Maths person but IB didn't give me much of a choice! Kind of wish I'd taken studies...
    Used to hate Bio with a passion, but I'm okay with it now.

    It's a great mix for humanities or the Liberal Arts [US], but it's pretty hard!

    Re: Calling ALL IB'ers...Your subject combinations!
    Year 12 here. I chose:

    Polish A1 HL :3
    English HL x3
    Geography HL x3!

    Biology SL
    Math Studies SL
    History SL

    I'm satisfied with the choice ^^. I wanted to take chemistry SL instead of history, but as I'm going to study Japanese (in UK) I've decided to take the latter, seems more useful.

    BTW, is TOK as boring as it appears to be or it's just my impression?...

    But yeah, I want to study Psychology in Uni.

    Re: Calling ALL IB'ers...Your subject combinations!
    IB 2010 (Everything is really a repeat of my siggy)

    History HL (Americas- 20th Century Topics)
    Design Technology HL
    English A1 HL

    Math Methods SL (6) :yep:
    Music SL (Performance- 5):yep:
    Spanish B SL (2 yr) :cool:

    TOK:erm: (my teacher retired, but I think my essay is relatively strong. But we will see)
    English EE (Using Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Its delicious) :cool:

    My teacher/coordinator plotted out Blooms Taxonomy and then showed its relations with the rest of IB; I love the way IB makes you think.

    I also think that with study and constant work ethic, IB is not all that hard.
