MariusIBDP Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I was thinking recently about IB recently, and I thought - so many people are talking about the easiest possible choice, however, what's the HARDEST? So, please IBS, give me your suggestions (for the sake of it, let's keep the choices limited to 4 HL's & 2 SL's). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've always wondered why it matters really. No one should care, all it does is make people who don't do those subjects feel like idiots in comparison when it isn't the case at all. To be frank, it just increases unnecessary snobbery and people who say " oh but I took x,y and z and HL! and you only took a,b and c at HL" are bloody ridiculous.Different things are difficult for different people. They aren't universal. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CkyBlue Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 hlphysicsmathother A1 language which is foreign to you...artslphilosophyenglishI don't really think there's any good reason discussing this, but those subjects just my opinion ^. Also, difficulty is subjective... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be frank, it just increases unnecessary snobbery and people who say " oh but I took x,y and z and HL! and you only took a,b and c at HL" are bloody ridiculous. Different things are difficult for different people. They aren't universal. C'mon now, we're studying TOK and you ask why should we discuss THIS thing? JK. You shouldn't think I want to brag about what I took or praise someone who took these subjects, it just interests me. General interest nothing more. Some things are almost universal, e.g. Math Studies are definitely easier than Math's SL, Business studies than Economics. These are not perfectly applicable to everyone, but still, you could come up with a hard combination. My guess would be: Maths HL Physics HL History HL Some kind of arts HL Foreing language as A1 SL Chinese or Arabic ab initio(if you live in western Europe/USA and have no contact to that culture/language) SL I just wanted to see how more difficult can someone possibly go, no need to be mad Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baronvonskittles Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) In my opinion i think that doing:History HLMaths HLPhysics HLArt HLand second language A1 SLChemistry SLwould be pretty damn diffucult.and do i think it is some what unfair that some people get high IB points for doing subjects like maths studies and their frist language B HL, while i had to work hard as to get a 30 Edited March 16, 2012 by Baronvonskittles Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide Eyed Wanderer Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think the hardest would beChemistry HLHistory HLComp Science HLI see math HL is perceived to be one of the hardest and so is Art, but I think those are my 2 favourite courses ( I take art SL, but the only real difference is in the quantity of work produced) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Maths SL should definitely be included in SL part of the most difficult subjects Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
