IB Requirements
« on: November 09, 2009, 08:32:44 pm »
I am an IGCSE student and im going to start the IB course next year, however, i noticed that to do a specific subject for example English A1 HL my school told me i need to get a B+ in my IG.

Is it true? Do you need a specific grade in the IG's to start an IB course?

Please tell me cause if i cant do First language english then im forced to do Spanish which is horrible....

Thanks

I was told that i gotta choose 3 HL and 3 SL

I wanted to choose.

Business, Economics, English A1 - High
Chemistry or physics, Spanish and Math (not studies) - Standard

By the way you are starting the IB or your in the last year?
