flinquinnster Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 This is based on the thread "IB courses you wish you could have taken, but couldn't". Because, personally, I find it more interesting to hear about regrets and disappointments. Anyway, to start with my own...In hindsight, I wish I took Biology SL instead of Physics SL. The biology class next door to us likes to tease us by constantly bringing in food and watching youtube videos, whilst we sit, take notes, do problems, and actually do work.I slightly regret taking geography as well, because economics looks pretty fun, easy and perhaps even useful! At least I don't regret taking Maths HL. I have to keep telling that to myself every time I spend 5 hours doing homework, whilst all the SL kids do theirs in class. Ah, the vicissitudes of IB subject configuration! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I actually regret taking Maths SL instead of Studies, cause I don't really need SL for anything and I consider it one massive waste of time. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabz Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I wish i could have taken Film HL or Design technology instead of Geography HL because that's a waste of time really. Edited January 19, 2013 by shad0wboss Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-._._.- Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Although I need a HL chemistry more, i feel that it would have been nicer if I took HL economics and SL chemistry. Maybe taking geography wouldn't be too bad too. I should have taken french instead of mandarin. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Award Winning Boss Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I wish I didn't do English or German. But I had to. My life. Bad. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lero Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not necessarily a regret but if my school offered economics SL it would have made life a whole lot easier instead of taking history SL.So glad I'll never have to write another history essay in my life. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khimberleigh Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 English, but unfortunately it's compulsory 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 HL English or history, but both were mandatory and I had no choice. I shouldn't have been in a HL English course at all. Even though I did very well in history, I would have liked to spend my time on other subjects. I also regret taking SL math, I probably should have taken HL math, but I'm all caught up and on track for my math requirements for university. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 English: Literature HL, it's my weakest subject and poems hurt my soul with their nonsense but unfortunately it was mandatory to take it higher level. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fiorella Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Biology HL T_T I wish I could've taken it SL but they wouldn't let me...and now I'm suffering studying for the exam... :'( Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vim Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Danish SL, but it's compulsory in my school. Loathe every moment of it!Also Geo HL is turning out quite annoying due to a bad teacher, but it's my fourth HL so I may drop down to SL so it won't be too much of a bother. It's super easy except for the IA which is killing me. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainRostand Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I wish I was able to take Biology HL instead of Chemistry HL... I find biology much easier... It's what I love Unfortunately, my school won't let me. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
difiCa Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Physics HL. I'm finished with it but it was a lot of extra, useless bother for someone going to study economics. Could've done SL, the most I can get from doing HL is one CU of course credit in uni if i get my predicted 6. Even worse, I could really have taken SL but missed the deadline for second registration by ONE day when I finally got talking to my coordinator about it...

lilianna009 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I actually regret taking Maths SL instead of Studies, cause I don't really need SL for anything and I consider it one massive waste of time.thisAnd I'll probably stay in Poland, at least for undergraduate. And they consider math SL to be really standard. Like people from regular programme have tasks like log100-log(2)8 at final exams. And now some idiots will have more points cause they pass exams for retards ;[. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
