greaterthaninfinity Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) In my school, it is basically agreed among the students that English HL and Math HL screw us over the most. So, I wonder if this is the case at your school also? What are the IB subjects perceived to be the most difficult in your school?

moneyfaery Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Pretty much the same, I suppose. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laborare Nolo Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Right now, it seems the general consensus is that Math, both HL and SL, are difficult, and Physics. (But I take Bio, so. *shrugs*) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emkay Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Physics and Math SL (since my school only offers SL for those) seem to be the most difficult. Other than that Spanish B SL is raping all the spanish students (aka we have no Spanish AB Initio or something like that and a bad spanish base).

__inthemaking Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 My school doesn't offer math HL. Our most difficult subjects were English A1 HL and history HL/chemistry HL (depending on who you asked..but everyone agreed English was rape).

Ktk Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Oh, wow. Our school mandates every IB dip student to take IB English and History HL.and those are my least favorite subjects, and those are supposedly the most difficult subjects workload&content-wise.Then there is Biology HL I and Spanish SL which are also difficult.

Chesire_Cat Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 At my school, if you need an "easy" HL, you take English HL, because you only have to read 4 more books than SL students. However, I'm pretty sure that once you get to the IB exam, you'll have regretted taking English HL. A really hard subject is Math HL, people drop out a lot! Physics HL and SL seem to be hard as well.

Tilia Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 In my school I've heard that maths and chemistry are the worst subjects you can have HL. Don't really believe it about chemistry... Otherwise I suppose that Arts HL is pretty tough. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMADA Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would say Bio or Physics are quite demanding, anyway Im taking Design Technology Does any one else take DT in here? would need some help with my major project... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelleee Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 maths! then economics - the fact that it's all theories makes it soo hard to remember! (for me anyway)and hmm, group 4 is a bit of a challenge but i enjoy it so i guess it still counts?possibly english, even though it pretty much consists of 98% babble anyway.

Hyperbole Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Physics HL and Maths HL at my school, definitely. But Chemistry HL is also counted among the difficult subjects, and so is English A2 HL to some extent.Language A1 HL isn't really seen as very difficult, and nearly everybody studies History HL (SL isn't offered because it isn't in demand). I've never heard anyone mention Biology HL as a difficult subject, which breaks the pattern of HL sciences being the most difficult...But Physics and Maths, definitely!

biochem Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 HL Chem in my school is the most difficult subject We dont really learn the material at first. Your given a huge set of AP/IB problems, and told to do it, because its checked for accuracy. Some of the problems the teacher might have trouble with and often gets something wrong. tests are ridiculous, because the teacher has a high chemistry degree, and faisl to recognize what is suitable for students. Rape, weekly. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physics HL is one of those 'you got it or you don't' subjects i.e. tough because you can't improve that much even by working hard, imo.I don't think Economics HL is that tough... it doesn't actually cover that much more than SL and SL was pretty manageable. In the end, it all depends on what you're good at, really. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biochem Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Bio HL also is really difficult. Forgot to mention it.. Well not as much at my school. I feel like we cover a lot, and the teacher like moves fast cause she is really good at teaching. She is actually amazing. Everything and beyond is accounted for each topic. But Bio HL does have a low percentage on 7's, and personally, I know no one with a 7 in HL Bio. I am striving for it though. haha :innocent: Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaclellan Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I don't mind english at all...I hate math probably because I have a knack for writing papers, not tests Edited February 28, 2009 by almaclellan Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiFruit Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 that English HL and Math HL rape us the most. Sorry have to laugh at the inappropriate use of that verb.Yes it seems to be that both of those subjects are the hardest , also HL physics.

Yume_no_king Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 In my school i think the hardest has to be Chem and the easiest is Spanish but i think thats only unique to our school Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laryxle Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 At my school quite a lot of people are finding English A1 HL hard but I think that it's going ok. For me so far History HL and English HL have the biggest workloads but aren't too hard, i'm finding chemistry SL the hardest probably :/ -not a great science person- Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JourneyTo Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Maths and Physics seem to be the agreed hard subjects at my school. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
