sagiiss Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi! I'm choosing my subjects in 3 days and I just want to know what other IB students (with more experience) think about my plan. I want to take * Swedish LangLit A HL* English B HL* Business & Management HL* Math Studies / SL* Economics SL* Environmental Systems & Societies SL* German SL I don't know what I want to study after finishing IB but I'm sure it won't have anything to do with math/science. So I though that it might be a good idea to take Math Studies, and then add an extra language (German) to "compensate". The chancellor at my school told me it might be more useful to take an extra language if I don't want to study something requiring a higher math qualification at Uni. Also, German is not a language that many non-German people know these days, so it is probably something that will make my education "stand out". I want to study in the US. What do you think?Would you choose this, or rather take Math SL and skip German? Thanks!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilia1320 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Depends on university. According to my counselor some universities right our reject you if you have Math Studies. Edited January 14, 2016 by Emilia1320 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I believe it depends on what you want to study. It'd be helpful if you told us so we could give you more suitable advice. I'd also check directly with the universities you might want to apply to and see what their policy on Maths Studies is. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Huang Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Take both Maths SL and Germany , that's the best option. (Extra language ability is important if you want to study Business later on). And you may be required to have a maths higher level if you want to study Economics in university. (Sometimes high mark in SL maths will also be acceptable) 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDgen47@IB Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Take Math SL to begin with. Once you are a little more focused and have a rough idea as to what you are going to pursue, you can either drop or keep Math SL. Take German as well if you can manage the workload. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
