Should I take A-level or IB Diploma | A&J Education

- Does your school offer both A-level and IB? But you cant decide which one to take? It always comes down to your personal needs. The best we can do is outline the pros and cons of both so that you can make the most educated decision possible.
To give a brief outline. With A-levels, you don't have a set number of subjects you have to take. With IB however you need to take 6 subjects that fall into 6 separate categories. However, one key thing is that if you are aiming for the UK, A-levels might do you better than IB. And for the US the IB diploma would be a better bet.
Still not decided which one to take? Drop us a question in the comments or DM us on Intagram. We will be sure to get back to you!

Getting a good score in the IB is extremely hard and if you're not a very hardworking student don't take the IB because you'll be jeopardizing your chances of getting into some universities. I know some people who have 776 at HL but 33-34 overall and couldn't get into universities that A level students with equivalent grades could get into because you only take 3 subjects at A level making it easier. Most universities care about your overall score. If you're good at some subjects and bad at others you'll be voluntarily putting yourself at a disadvantage.
I’m taking 3 A levels(CIE) including all sciences, along with 2 AS courses in English and Maths. Are more in depth than IB or is it more or less the same?
A-levels tend to go more in depth for each subject, however it can vary
I live in Spain but I am native and I want to study at Oxford(English language and literature to be exact)however I am not sure if I should do the ib or A-levels..
I guess A Level would be good for my son since he might go to an American University
For American universities IB would be more advisable
but a levels are still okay to take if u are going to an American university?
Yes most do accept A levels
@@Freefreepalestinefreemylandyo which one did you pick?
Do French and German universities accept a levels?
That depends on the specific university, a lot of them do
HI SO I'M AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FROM EGYPT AND I. HAVE THE UCAT NEXT. MONTH. THE THING THAT I. DON'T. HAVE A LEVELS SO WHAT. SHOULD. I DO
For India which one is preferable?
There isn’t really a preference by country
where dmo u wanna go?
You must take math, and you can take 2 science courses in addition.
So which one is better ?
It depends on your goals and universities you will be applying to. But generally IB offers more diversity
