<p>Hi, I am a sophomore, and I am currently picking my classes for next years. Here is my current proposed schedule.</p>
<p>Junior Year</p>
<p>IB English Hl
IB History of the Americas Hl
IB Math Hl(AP Calculus)
IB Physics Sl
IB Chemistry Sl
IB Spanish Sl
Theory of Knowledge </p>
<p>Is this realistic? What are your thoughts? I was considering dropping Chemistry for ITGS Sl.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Frankly, not being a science person, I would drop the extra science. I made the mistake of overloading my schedule with notoriously difficult classes that drained time away from the classes I was capable of succeeding in. Always better to be just under your threshold than just above it, especially if you’re in time-consuming ECs.</p>
<p>Wow - that is almost my daughter’s exact schedule for senior year. She has AP Environmental instead of IB Chem SL and IB French HL. Her school only lets you take IB classes Junior and Senior year. She had AP Calculus AB/BC junior year and scored a 5 on the AP test. She and the other seven students (all with BC) find IB Math HL very challenging. I don’t really see the point of 2 SL Sciences but I guess if you like science.
My daughter couldn’t get what she wanted during a certain time slot so
she picked AP Environmental out of the few classes available.</p>
<p>It is really good to get your CAS and most of your extended essay done during Junior year so factor that into your decision.</p>
<p>^
I agree. </p>
<p>I would drop that extra science class. Remember IB is more than just grades if you want the full diploma you need to finish CAS, EE, IA’s in multiple classes etc. So you need a LOT of time to do that. You seem to have taken on a lot. Make sure you have time for the stuff that matters.</p>

<p>Why aren’t you interested in science? And prepare for Math HL II, it’ll probably different from any other math class you’ve taken before. Math HL II is way beyond just calculus, especially considering the option unit. </p>
<p>Actually if you aren’t into math, I’d really suggest going SL math and self-study AP Calc BC; google IB Math(s) HL and look at some other peoples’ reactions to the class… lol, not to deter you from it - it’s a great class if you’re into math.</p>
<p>SL courses are actually a breeze so I wouldn’t worry about chemistry sl - in fact I’d say that physics and chem are easiest to take; your score in ITGS really depends on your school’s teaching of it, I’d say.</p>
