[Combining term 1-3]</p>
<p>Should I go for the diploma? How hard is it? I heard that it is very hard...can someone please give me some suggestions?</p>
<p>Shouldn’t you have declared your anticipated candidacy already?</p>
<p>What would those grades be on a 1-7 point scale? </p>
<p>And are you talking about DROPPING your diploma halfway through the course? Those grades are fine, you’ll still get your diploma.</p>
<p>You’re halfway through… just complete it.</p>
<p>no i’m going for it next year. this is my grade with IB but not the diploma. sorry if i didn’t make it clear but what i mean is that should i go for the diploma next year? are my grades good enough for it?</p>
<p>A lot of people at my school spend hundreds of dollars just to fail a test/essay and not get the diploma. I opted out, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. With the extra time, I got over 2x the number of volunteer hours required by IB, along with more leadership and probably better grades.</p>
<p>Your grades are good enough for the Diploma.</p>
<p>I mean continue with it, you’re doing well in a majority of classes.</p>
<p>These don’t affect your IB Grade… which is the result of your examinations in your IB subjects. You need a 24. Just remember that.</p>
<p>The only troubling grade is the Science grade - C. I was confused because you are taking TOK but was not actually in IB, or at least that was how I read it. The rest of the grades are fine.</p>
<p>It will be hard, but so would any other challenging course.</p>
<p>^ I’m taking ToK and am not in IB.</p>
<p>At least the way my school does it, IB kids will have top priority. Then come AP juniors - he is a sophomore.
Definitely strange - sophomore in TOK who is considering IB (and thus retaking the course).</p>
<p>^ haha no, i’m actually a junior. i’m choosing classes for my senior year. BTW, I live in a small town and we only have 2 IB schools here, so if I go for IB diploma, then I might be the 1st class to get the diploma.</p>
