That girl I mentioned was a taiwanese girl. She's very pretty btw... And her results were really goods.

You should be worried, in fact you should be feeling the stress. Throughout the 2 years, you'll keep feeling like you've unfinished work, here and there..

It will be like hearing thunder seeing lightning, but no rain = i.e. you'll be stressed but you'll survive. It's just the stress that makes you feel tiresome.. Once you finish 1 task, you've another task; finish 1 presentation, 2nd presentation starts ... It's very hard to relax or have a good holiday when at the back of your mind, you've unfinished work, unless you're students who don't really care, just want 30 points. If you want 40 points and above, you should be feeling the stress.

addendum: got lots of presentations for the 2 languages subjects.

With all the workload, your teachers will most probably have a schedule for you. Eg. now is the time for this, now is the time for that, now is the time for 1st draft, now it's the time to apply uni, now it's the time for semester exam .... blah blah blah ...
If they leave you alone, I think not many students can survive IB. Need a lot of self-discipline and multi-tasking.. especially with internet so widely available now, it'll be a huge distraction for students ...

Exactly, considering Physics is not relevant in health sciences but at a tender age, majority of students are still clueless on what they intend to do. I'm a good example. So it's quite good if options are still available if you took the 'wrong' course or anything.


Oooooh...leng lui. Lol.

The amount of stress is definitely worrying. There's really no rest is there?

A schedule would be incredibly helpful! You need strong discipline to survive, which many lack nowadays.

Yeah, technology is the key to procrastination.

I'm currently taking my GCE 'O' Levels in Singapore, thinking about coming back to Malaysia for IB next year. Are there any suggestions on good IB schools? My choice of HL and SL subjects are likely to be:

HL: English Language and Literature, History, Group 2 Language OR Psychology OR Business Management
SL: Physics, Maths, one of the three with "OR" above

As you can see, I would prefer to take humanities for my HL. I was looking up Taylor's but they have a really limited choice of subjects available...are there any other reputable IB schools with a good range of subjects available, and with competent teaching staff?

Thanks!
