<p>Visirale, what are you talking about? I heard Chem was easy as heck! SL has to be insanely easy. You might as well do HL for credit!
You are the crazy one for doing math HL!!</p>
<p>IB English HL :(
IB Spanish 4 SL (I'm fighting for HL)
IB History of Americas HL
IB MathMethods SL
IB Physics SL
IB Computer Science HL (fighting for SL)
AP Gov't
AP Economics (For the AP courses, I might replace th em with Academic Dec.)</p>
<p>Junior class schedule:</p>
<p>Honors Pre-Calculus
Honors Chemistry
Honors English
AP U.S. History
Spanish 3
Student Leadership (class president! :))
Honors Psychology</p>
<p>My school doesn't even offer SL chem, only HL, and all I hear is horror stories... I don't know... Chem was never my forte.</p>
<p>IB Math HL
IB Chemistry HL
IB English HL
IB History SL
IB French A2 SL
IB Art SL
Journalism
Theory of Knowledge</p>
<p>At my school, math is known as the most difficult HL, and chem as the most work-intensive. I don't know how I'm going to do it. :eek: Both teachers are excellent, though.</p>
<p>By the way, is anyone here getting the bilingual diploma? I'm getting mine in French and English (because I'm taking two Language A classes).</p>
<p>Next year, I'm taking:
AP Language & Composition
AP U.S. History II
AP Spanish V
AP Biology
Trigonometry/Analytic Geometry
Gym/Health (mandatory)
Psychology
Study hall
Debate (If it can be fit into my schedule, I'll have it in place of my study hall one half of the year)</p>
<p>So these IB classes you're all talking about...Why do your schools have such advanced courses? Do they have AP or Honors courses?</p>
<p>My school is an all-IB school, meaning that all students complete the IB Diploma, most of them bilingual (French or Spanish). It's an international school, and it's designed to be compatible with IB schools all over the world for expats and diplomat kids who move around a lot. There are no AP or Honors courses.</p>
<p>My school has IB courses/AP courses/honors courses</p>
<p>IB isn't that much harder than AP, actually I think the structure of IB makes the classes a little bit easier because it is so organized. AP's can be disorganized. IB is only a littler harder in the workload given.</p>
<p>School I'm going to next year will have college level courses beyond AP/AP courses/and honors</p>
<p>Man I feel so low. ><</p>
<p>It's not considered "better" just because you have all IB or AP classes, and no electives, even IF you might say you do them at another time.</p>
<p>Colleges don't want you to live through hell in highschool, but rather that you budgeted your time, enjoyed things with your school peers with activities, and worked together with others.</p>
<p>To me, a schedule just filled with academics isn't anything impressive, just overload. If anyone wanted to they could fill there schedule up with all core subjects, but I think colleges like it MUCH better to see that you found your way through high school balancing leisure and work.</p>

band
PE / Theory of Knowledge</p>
<p>I think I'm pretty well balanced...</p>
<p>Full IB. I play bass guitar in jazz band at at church. In marching band I play keyboard instruments.. and mainly vibraphone. I'm the pit section leader... I play football, soccer, and lacrosse. That's sports non-stop all year... even over the summer. It's a lot of work, but it's also a ton of fun.</p>
<p>Major props to all of you, very impressive!!!...Wow, ok I always thought I was doing well especially considering my top 10 ranking at my school, but now I am feeling REALLY puny!!! Since I am already enrolled in two schools (one an 'advanced' Academy for Science and Health), and APs don't seem to be worth as much after looking at what some of you are working on, can anyone offer ideas for making my schedule more impressive like some of yours?....</p>
<p>AP Chem
AP English III
AP US History
AP Calculus AB
PAP Physics
French II
PE</p>
<p>Okay, please someone tell me what it is with "IB"...You explained what it was, but why does your school offer these courses? Mine doesn't...Mine only has AV (sp. ed., basically), CP, Honors, and AP...</p>
<p>In my school, there are no honors or ap courses for history or english. INnscience you can only take an AP after having completed BIO PHYS then CHEM, which means you can only take an AP in senior year. There are also no honors sciences below the AP level, but the better students take physics in sophomore year and chem in junior year,</p>
<p>I will be taking</p>
<p>1)AP Spanish
2)AP Computer Science
3)Honors pre-calc (i can take the AB exam if i want, but senior year, honors goes to BC, so i will prob just take the BC senior year.)
4)US History (some students take the AP. I am good at history but ive always been advised against it, so i prob won't take the AP.)
5)Chemistry (there was no way i could take an AP this year, but next year i will take AP CHem and AP Physics C)
6)English 11 (all juniors take this class.)
7)Ceramics ( If it fits into my schedule i will take take it. I liked it last year, and i feel it is important to also have an art.)
