aspenpetaalx Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hello, I'm taking IB starting next year. I'm planning to take English B, Math, Physics, and History HL with Chemistry and Indonesian A SL, but I'm really confused on what to choose because I have not decided my major in uni yet + I don't like chem at all. Do you think its an idiotic choice or should I go with it? Is it a too hard combination? If you have any experience with this combo, please do tell.

marinad Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 My combo is not exactly that but it's similar. I chose HL History, English B, Business Management, and Math(I had chosen SL at first but I changed to HL in the second term of my first year). My SLs are Physics and literature in my native language. In my case, it is hard but manageable. It was a bit chaotic during the first term as it was my first such experience, but now I'm used to the workload and I kind of know how to manage my time. Since your physics is HL, your combination is harder than mine and I suggest you change chemistry for something easier, especially if you don't like it. You could do design tech instead since it's considered easy, or just something you're more interested in. All of the courses are relatively hard so it is crucial to choose an interesting one.

I did the IB too, so I get where you're coming from. Your subject combo is definitely challenging with four HLs. If you really dislike Chemistry, I’d suggest switching it out for something else you enjoy more. Math and Physics HL are tough but great for STEM fields, and History HL is solid for humanities. Don't stress too much about your major yet; pick subjects that keep you motivated and interested. Balancing your strengths and interests is key. Good luck, you've got this!
