IB Biology Vs. IB Chemistry

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm currently a sophomore and am planning on doing the IB Diploma. Starting next year, my school is changing IB Bio SL and IB Chem SL/HL to 2-year sequences, so at the end of the 2nd year, we get to choose whether we want to take the SL or HL tests. I'm planning on doing HL.</p>

<p>Last year, I took IB Prep Biology and got pretty good grades I guess: B, A-, & A-. I'm currently in Chemistry and am doing very well in it: I got an A- last tri and currently have an A.</p>

<p>IB Chem (mainly HL) is known for being very hard, and a lot of people say to take IB Biology. I talked to both my Chemistry teacher and my Biology teacher today and they said that they think I would do well in both of them. My Chemistry teacher is also the IB Chem teacher and he said that students that have done well in Chemistry generally have done well in IB Chem. I guess I could probably think the same for Biology, too.</p>

<p>Idk. I'd just like to see other people's opinions and/or advice. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>P.S. Before anyone says anything, I already posted in the IB thread. It's just that more people generally come through here, so I thought I'd post here, too.</p>

<p>And also since I’m planning on doing IB Physics SL, which is also one of the hardest IB classes at my school, during senior year, would it probably be too hard to do both Chemistry and Physics senior year (not sure why I’m asking since I already know the answer lmao)?</p>

<p>You seem to perform well in both chemistry and biology, so it’s really just a matter of which subject do you like more. You seem to be slightly better in chemistry though, if that helps.</p>

<p>That’s what I thought, too, but just thinking about putting both IB Chem HL AND IB Physics SL together sounds like instant death.</p>
