Should i do A level or IB

<< < (2/3) > >>

MaNa:
IB is not easier says who!?
in A level u r confined toyour books thats all
where as in IB u are doing everything
community service ,co cular activity, 6 subjects excluding 1 which is ToK n the bomb 4000extended word essay
u leave one u dont get ur diploma
yes the course is not as DEEP as A levels hoever the study hours r more then A levels
Ib is more broad where as A level is length

MaNa:
However i advice you to do IB since it gives you more broader vision furthurmore enables you to think 3 dimensionally
i am doing Ib myself and i find myslef completely different 4m A level students
secondly by doing Ib u have privilage of having a back up plan since u will take 6 subjects
it makes urcollage(university ) life easier as well
so go for Ib its challenging but worth it=]

staceyboy3:
In IB you do more work during the two years of study. Your final assessment will be based on your exam as well as your work. A-levels is just based on your exam results.

IB is worth more than A-level, so go for it while you have the chance!

MaNi_DaDuDe:
Since you are going to Canada, I suggest IBs.

The coursework will own you though.

omega007:
Don't make this mistake: A Level sucks bad. It has no reputation at all. You'll understand when you go into the real world of university admissions.
