hmmm, well during IB I hated it, but in hindsight I think it was well worth it. I have a friend who went to australia for uni, and hardly studied for her first exams, and passed with over 90 percent in all her subjects based only on what she could remember from IB.

i thin a lot of the credit and positives for doing IB come from he factthat teachers seem to prefer teaching it over Alevels so are more enthusiasic. plus the schools in the UK that offer it are good schools anyway so that helps make the experience good. i think / hope that wen im done IB i think back on it in the same way as you the legend :p:

provided i don crash burn and fail lol

so what ? I can't remember exactly how many nights that I didn't sleep to finish my workload. There are also a lot of nights that I've to studied and work until 4 in the morning. Then, wake up at 7 for class ..

It's really an unforgettable experience .. but I don't hate IB for that. Most probably my time management is not good ..

I think IB is good for people who are capable...keep in mind it was designed for very able students. It's obviously a challenge even for the smartest students!
I somehow ended up getting a 42, but seriously, there were so many times very late at night/early morning, nearly throwing up coz I hate the taste of coffee, where I would just sit there contemplating whether I should just give up and be satisfied with a 24. I mean, seriously thought about it.
Now that there is still the alternative of A-levels, why take IB? (please don't give me bull abt the benefits of CAS and the challenge of ToK).

erm IB is better but A level is easier :p:

so i guess some would argue A level is better as easier if i had the choice between a good set of IB or good A level results i would take the IB results any day
