I'm starting the IB diploma in September 2017 and I'm nervous (although a bit excited loool) about the workload.
The school I'm hoping to go to is one of the best in the country (approximately 37 points average for the 2017 results) so I know I'll be in good hands.
However, as said before I am slightly nervous about the workload and many existing sixth formers have just told me to work hard from September - is this true? Do I need to work my hardest? I'm worried I'll overwork myself which would be unnecessary and would burn me out too early!
Also, people who have done the IB or are currently doing it, when during the course did you have the heaviest amount of workload?
The subjects I hope to study are:
HL - Global Politics, Economics, English Literature
SL - French Ab, Maths Standard, Sports Science
I'm not 100% sure with what I would like to study at university but I aspire to go a Russel Group uni and do a course such as International Relations/Politics maybe with Economics, PPE etc. Are my subjects suitable for this?
If there are any other general tips you have for doing well in the IB, feel free to mention!
Thank you
