I am stuck with the decision of staying in my new school, where I just started Year 12, or going back to my old school and studying IB. Initially, I chose to move to another school since I thought A-levels would be easier for me and a better choice.
My dream is to study medicine at UCL/Imperial. However, I do not have an IGCSE background. I am 3 weeks in into the A-level school, and I am stressing a lot because of being the only new kid and because I am already finding it hard (not like my other classmates) and studying things they've already learnt during IGCSEs.
I still have the option to return to my previous school (where my classmates will have the same knowledge as me, more or less) and pursue the IB program. I was thinking of studying HL Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, and SL Maths, English, and Spanish. I am taking Bio, Chem and Maths A-levels right now in my current school. (as-levels)
Question is - do I stay or do I go to IB?... Some say since IB has 6 subjects, it will be at an 'easier' level than A-levels. Some say A-levels will be easier because I will only be studying 3 subjects.
Even though it's only the end of the third week of school, I am already stressed out and running on 4-5 hours of sleep max during school days.
Help, please, IB or A-levels? 😅
