    IB Biology Standard Level.....no idea what it's about
    Hey,

    Since the school I moved too doesn't off D.T. in their sciences. I had to take up standard Biology....does anyone have any idea what the course is like and whether I made a mistake..cause it was either chemistry for physics and I'm not good at either.

    i did HL biology and HL chem, so i pretty much know what the SL material is all about..
    it is better that u take bio instead of physics or chem so u made the right choice, because;
    1. Chemistry is difficult and based on a lot of understanding and foundation, and if u dont enjoy it then ud have a bad time there.
    2. Physics is supposed to be very complicated and difficult (according to physics students in my school) so it isnt the bst choice.
    Bio sl on the other hand is more about memorizing.. yes it is a little long, but nothing compared to bio HL. my friends who did SL bio studied for about 2 full days for the final IB exam and said it was more than enough.
    so dont worry you have made the right choice if u dont like any of them in the first place

    Thank you! I'm alright between chem and bio, just I thought bio would be a better option.
