DMA Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi, I plan to take these courses next year- HL- Computer science, Math applications & Interpretations, Economics SL- Psychology, English lit, Spanish ab initio. Does the work load look manageable? In case I want to take 4 HLs would you suggest Psychology or English lit? Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I wouldn't suggest taking 4 HL's with the type of combination in the HL's which you have taken. Please do consider only doing 3 HL's which you have taken. As these are are one of the heavy workloaders in IB after the HL Combination Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. But if you want to get decent scores in you're HL's you need to start working a lot for these scores. So, start planning on you're IA's and you're EE's as early as possible. ALL THE BEST IN THE UPCOMING FUTURE FOR YOU'RE SCORES. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason i was thinking of 4HLs was - (a) I have spanish ab initio that is supposed to be quite simple (b) I have been coding in java for at least 3 years outside of school so am hoping CS will not be crazy for me (but I could be wrong) (c) I am thinking of doing Math applications and not Math analysis and though this will be the first year this program is rolled out I have been told that it will be less of a killer than the current Math HL (but this is again risky). 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But three 3 HL's is too much these days after 2015. But you can you're math analysis to Math HL. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
