Help: IG vs IB question

<< < (2/3) > >>

elemis:
IB demands you take 2 languages and a bunch of other subjects from Humanities etc. Stuff you wouldnt be interested in as an Engineer.

Do your 3 A Levels in what ever sciences/maths you need for your uni course and if you REALLY want to then do Business St.

Its a pretty okay subject; lots to memorise but not too intensive. And you can do it by yourself with no problems.

Honestly, I dont see why you want to re-do an IGCSE since most Unis dont really consider your IGCSEs.

Its the A Levels they're interested in.

No problem, anytime ;)

If you choose to do Business St. for your IGs just remember to be really familiar with the MS and examiners reports.

You wont get marks if you dont apply your answers to the situation - you'll eventually see what I mean.

Wow, that took reading more than once to understand. :P

Firstly: IB is pretty tough in contrast with the A-Level system, and though their pros and cons seem to level out at a point, it is pretty much agreed that IB is painful. Also, it makes you study useless subjects which would have little or no influence in your career as an engineer. Not a bad option if you're really hardworking though since there is apparently a provision for IB students in your area.

Secondly: Economics is not an easy getaway. It is a technical subject, perhaps not the worst around but it inherits the bloodthirsty potential. If you opened up your options a bit, you could check out a couple others, being Business Studies (as referred by Ari) or Statistics. Whichever exam you study for, it won't be too hard and you could appear in the exam maybe within a year because they aren't very tricky, especially if you study A-Level Math.

Thirdly: Don't make that two A-Levels because the university you plan to go to just requires two. Two A-Levels are quite little, especially since you're up against in competition with IB student with six subjects. Plus, like Ari said, impress them with an extra A-Level rather than with an extra O-Level, because both are no way equitable.
