I don't ussually comment but thanks for this, it really did help. At my school IB is only junior/senior year and literally everyone I talk to try to convince me not to do it. I'm pretty set on it, though I am worried about the effect it'll have on my grades. Up till now, I've taken all advanced classes and a few AP (currently a sophomore) and my averages are mostly 99s and 100s, with a 98 or two. Are there any trends that you've noticed with how much people's grades drop with IB?

@@erudite7884 It depends on your classes, and how much you are willing to work. Since your school doesn't do pre-IB the first semester may be a shock. however, you could probably do it. My advice to you is to choose 3 SL classes and 3 HL classes (my school requires it, but some let you take more HL classes) DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT take any more than 4 HLs. Pick your HL classes very meticulously. I personally love English bio and art, so I went with those as my HLs. Also, IB is similar to AP with more of a workload. If you can handle 6 APs with decent scores, you should be fine, however it's not easy. For me, my grades went from a A+ range to a B+ - A range but it's mostly due to my poor study habits (and because I want to have a life and have fun too lol). I never had to study before IB (even in my AP classes) and welp- that caused my grades to drop. But in the end, I think it's all going to be worth it. I hope this helps :D

​@@lizzynothere3788 Thankyou so much for that! It really did help. I think I'm going to go ahead and take IB, try my best, and hope it works out lol

@@erudite7884 You got this! If you ever need help feel free to just comment here lol

@@lizzynothere3788 lmaooo will do for sure. Wish you luck on your IB pathway as well and trust me, you'll hear from me more

listen bro, the person project doesn’t really matter. if i were you i would try to do something creative but also easy at the same time. you must not fail the PP because they won’t let you pass the grade otherwise

as an IB senior, don't worry too much about personal project and make sure to at least pass the subject try and prepare for ur IBDP instead (Grade 11 and 12)

Do you have any idea how I should structure my every day routine to make sure I don’t fall back on work and the other aspects of IB. Such as cas ee ia and tok? I haven’t started IB yet I will next month thanks :)

@@mariama9890 Yeah of course, I’ll give you all the tips I have! Firstly, you want to set a daily routine. For example, you should have a dedicated time everyday set solely for doing homework. But in all honestly, you’ll probably have very little free times on the weekdays, so a lot of the out of school time you’ll have will be spent doing homework. Second, YOU AND YOUR HEALTH ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE. Whenever you are tired, get sleep, whenever you need a day off, take the day off, whenever you need to close your laptop, close your laptop. Third, make a schedule. (I never did this, but I really should have) Fourth, form a classroom gc for every class! It’s so important to have other people in your class to help you out whenever you’re confused with an assignment. Fifth, enjoy yourself and the time you have left in high school! In the end, happiness is the key to success. Lastly, IB will see tough at first, but I promise it gets better. The first semester I barley made all A’s and I nearly burnt myself out every single day. But second semester when I learned all the tricks and how to manage the workload, it became so much easier. In fact, in my second semester, I ended with no grade below a 93. Just give it time, and you got it! Good luck!

@@breaker9414 thank you sooo much

Hey just a quick question is is beneficial for a student of CBSE to get into IB at 11th grade ? would be delighted if u helped 😁

@@fraggie8593 I dont think alot of people in this comment section know what CBSE is. As an Indian, doing MYP or IGCSE in 9th and 10th would prepare you for the IBDP program as the material is very similar and CBSE is relatively easier and has a much different philosophy. If you put your mind to it though, you will be able to do it. You just have to work a little harder and you'll get the hang of it.

bro i did it as a bet 💀

Hi I’m in Australia I was wondering if you know about atar. I was wondering if I should switch school from my selective IB school to an atar one for medicine.

how are you doing now? if you don't mind answering

IG meaning IGCSE?

@@syndeywong4673 yes

Well IB is internationally recognised if u want to go to universities in any country plus u can earn college credits but AP is also great:)

Please explain

elaborate

@@CesarOzuna well I’m a senior right now and even though we’ve missed about 2.5 years of learning we still have to take exams which is very unfair. Junior year was digital so no body really retained any information I don’t recommend it at all.

Update: I got my diploma but still don’t do it

I know it might be a bit late, but I think it’ll be a good opportunity for you and to also be around more people that hopefully you find common interests with. I know social anxiety is a pain in the ass, but try to be a bit more carefree and don’t worry about what might others might think or judge. I hope that if you decide to go, you have a really good invested and joyful time. You deserve it girl!

​@@A68-i8y thank you for your advice! i'm hoping to try to combat my social anxiety, which is really severe at the moment. my parents have also called a doctor and i'm hoping to get therapy for it as well. i hope i can make friends even though it's going to be virtual this year

SAME, todays my last day and im stressing over it. i do not know what to say....

@Grace Duggan I chose early college haha or if I wouldn’t have gotten into the early college high school I have in my city then I wouldve done ap and dual credit because you can get WAY more credits doing these two, and it didnt work for me because the amount of credits wouldn’t even make up for the amount of work in ib. And since I really do not care about going to an ivy college or a college not in my city or state, then in wouldn’t benefit me as much. So I would choose ap and dual credit.but if you want to go to a school outside of your home town or to an ivy then I suggest taking IB. But at the same time ap and dual credit can also help you get into a college easier.

i’m in the exact same situation

Hey what did you decide?

@@naumaanfaridi4609 I chose ap capstone, honestly do not recommend ib

@@king.kthebest6158 I'm a sophomore in pre ib rn I have been pretty successful in all my classes except Spanish, In which I have B's, so I don't know if I should do ib or ap

@@naumaanfaridi4609 Pre ib is nothing like ib, I had great grades in pre ib but ib is waaay harder. Up to you.

Ong, I was thinking the same. My teachers keep telling me to join but I honestly don’t want to because ima go to the same college as these kids who took IB regardless

I agree with you and I mean it is like so much but there are benefits like for example you might get into the same college as some people that took ib but one of the major benefits is that u can skip a whole year for college and go straight to sophomore year but I mean after all I don’t rly know which one is better to do it or not. I’m a sophomore rn and going to junior year next year so I have the choice of taking ib but I’m honestly not sure at all. I’m not sure if it’s really worth it or not.

@@patrickatala2991 if you have the time honestly do it, but if you’re an athlete like me then it’s tough coming home from VAR basketball practice then having to do IB work next year as a junior. Look into your school about a JATC program. I’m doing it and I’ll be able to skip 2 years of college and have an associate degree. The best part is that it is way easier compared to IB

literally ib was the worst thing that ever happened to me

My school forces us to do the MYP program till 10th it’s pretty okay not too bad. Until 11th and 12th.

DONT DO IT!! Im in IB as a high schooler in twelfth grade don't do it and don't take it seriously don't

What did you say? Are you going or no?

@@chaitanya3367 i went with no.. the school is far away and i also saw a lot of people saying they regretted it and how it didnt help them... my cousin also went and she said it was a waste so im just gonna go to a public high school :)

@@yasidino6250 well you know the best for yourself!

I will most absolutely make a video on this! Thank you for such a great idea :)) I will try to have one up soon. If you have any other questions, let me know so I can include it in the video as well :))

don't do ib, I went, worst decision of my life, I know you will probably still do it but don't say you weren't warned

@@raghadalnahari4056 it's very very difficult and time intensive, the first couple years are fine but in grade 11 and 12 it becomes insanely hard, if you are very hard working (4 hours homework\study per day) and can solve thinking problems easily it may be worth it for you because of the grade curve but the diploma is useless.

@@pushpindersekhon6221 hi im in grade 8 rn and thinking about going to ib..... im a pretty hardworking person but idk if i should go.. is everything just a harder level or is it the workload? if i go to ib will i have a better university experience? does going to ib affect what universities you get into? (sorry if im bring annoying i just need some advice since im rlly scared rn)

@@yasidino6250 IB will not affect which universities you get into very much, what matters most is your marks, in my opinion IB is great if you have mid to high 90's in grade 8 or you are the type of person who studies the whole curriculum the summer before, the hardest part of IB is that it's very mentally taxing, most of the people in IB see you as competition and nothing else and the workload is impossible if you don't work about 4 hours per day after school. In my opinion IB is not worth it, I'm currently in IB and I will tell you I regret joining IB everyday, if you are a very smart and hardworking student you can survive IB but even so I don't see a point in it. You can do just as well without it. Plus its a HUGE risk, all your marks come from 1 exam per subject and if you don't do well, your future is threatened.

haha we had our fun moments for sure, but I am sure nothing as crazy as what happened at Boys State!

haha thank you! Wish we would've known all this before doing IB!

I hope so!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely!! Is there anything in particular you would like me to touch on regarding the essays?

Ryan Nguyen love you, best friend :)❤️

of course! Glad I could help and I hope to see you there again when I can volunteer! It was so much fun to return as a JC last year! Thank you for your kind words!

Hiya! I can tell ya. I actually got picked as a delegate this year. In the interview, they basically ask you about yourself: your hobbies, in-school activities, outside of school activities, stuff that you could improve on the CA school system and CA gov, as well as your background (sibs, parents, any family veterans). That kinda stuff. Also make sure to look nice and presentable, posture and eye contact is everything.

@@samiroxs6973 how long is the interview?
