Lol I'm in IB to and I can just tell. One thing I've realized is that IB kids are kind of drama queens Smile

Right now I'm 17 and, for the American system (its international of course), I'm only in my second year out of four. Some advice:

1) If you going for Math HL (just the highest level of math) watch a guy on youTube called Kan Academy once you in calculus. In calculus, its not that hard of a course if you memorize the stuff. First year of calculus, focus on memorizing instead of understanding. Might sound dumb but a lot of people gave me that advice

2) Teachers are dum dums. They forget to put in assignments all the time at my school. I just go in right after school and tell them how its going to be.

3) I'ts not that hard. I'm in IB, and I can say that the program isn't really that hard. Basically, you get more homework and learn a wider range of stuff, but don't go in depth on anything!

4) Read. If you don't read you fail. You probably already know this.

5) IB doesn't = better. Usually i think it does though. However, if you want to take physics, don't take IB physics, its a joke. Take a physics class with Calculus in it. (In america its called AP Physics C). IB HL math, on the other hand, is probably the best publicized math course in the world! I love it

lmfao it does! IB schools in Europe are quite hardcore. I'm at a more integrated AP + IB school.
