you sleep much less in your second year, but you get used to it. It does prepare you exceptionally for Uni. IB students find university much easier than students from other courses.
In the first year I went out and partied a lot, basically every weekend, and still managed to be predicted 38-40.
UK Universities really like the IB (atleast most of them)
Its rigorous but worth it. I finish 18th may! months and its overrr
I just finished IB and I will agree, it was tough. But seriously, in the time that you spend making this video, feeling sorry for yourself and looking for sympathy, you could have been making sure you revised in order to improve your grades. This is the trend that I have found in many of my IB colleagues these past two years. Seriously, you chose to do the diploma so man up and get on with it rather than procrastinating.
@TeteViande I made this video a LONG time ago. I wasn't procrastinating. I was bored. I recievedmy IB diploma and started college as a second semester sophomore. Screw you.
I've tried the American highschool system, the scandinavian school system as well as the IB. While IB is by far the hardest, it is also the one I feel I gain the most from.
its not that bad. sometimes you really do feel like killing yourself but you just have to keep your eye on the prize and itll keep you going! -1 year down, 1 more to go :)
ib is a great opportunity to learn (not like other high schools, in sweden for instance) i don't understand why people hate it so much. it was your choice so you shouldn't complain.
actually the whole thing with universities looking favourably at IB - depends on where you are. I'm glad my pre-Ib was almost like a danish gymnasium class because now I find out that they downgrade Ib's here in denmark. Damn that sucks.
im taking the entrance admissions test for pre IB soon... does anyone know if its worth it? like, i know its hard bullshit n all that, but does it get u into good universities? or recognized? SOMEONE?
First year is a cake-walk. The only "challenging" part for me was completing all of the community service crap. As for universities. If you complete it they will look at you better than regular kids, I am in my second year and so far it's still pretty easy.
I wasn't required to take an admissions test. However I know people that have taken it and they said that you just need to look at every question carefully and not make any stupid mistakes, like reading a question wrong. I'm sure you'll be fine.
IMHO there's no better programme than IB, it's recognized on an international level and you can get college credits/scholarships etc depending on your grades.
Good luck though, you're gonna need it. I still have one semester left and I'm about to kill myself :)
Its worth it bro... even if you dont get the diploma... you can say on your scholarship essays and almost anything that you can apply that too.... that YOU are a FULL IB candidate. lol I may have scored 4 and 3 for my first tests... but you know what.... F it. I got into a OK school... they gave me good Financial aid because of IB... in the final rounds of Scholarships because of IB... over all... i feel way more prepared for college compared to some other guys... so F it bro..... F it...
lol i just got my acceptance letter into IB a few days ago... i hope its worth it.
is it as hard as ppl say it is? i just want to get into a good university, thats it. maybe a scholarship. for the entrance exam, i scored 9, 9, 8... but it was so damn hard! and that was just the entrance exam! btw, imaa girl.
Its not hard at all... IF you don't procrastinate. Like my advisor told me... "just turn in all the work, complete, on time, and you will get a B-. Dont be a over achieving nerd." lol best advise i've ever gotten. Oh... and if you do procrastinate... ask the teacher for an extension AS A GROUP, with all the other FULL IB candidates. You guys are the cream of the crop, its hard to say "No" to you guys. lol and good luck.
thanks so much! i'm completely terrified though. so many people are telling me that i'm probably guna get like 5 hours of sleep or less a night! is that true? and about universities...does it get you into good universities? because i'm thinking that since it's hard, it'll bring down my GPA or average, and then if the universities dont recognize IB, then they'll only look at my "downed" average.... that'll suck. unless its not trueee... i hope not..
Don't be scared lol. Most likely there will be nights where stay up until about 1 or 2 am but don't worry.
The university thing is somewhat of a lie (somewhat) some don't give a damn that your from IB and other are like "Wow!" it all depends on the universtiy.
Don't freak out though freshmen year is the hardest whether you are in IB or not.
Try to keep up your GPA but don't let that obession ruin your life. Remember only semester grades really count.
@StrawRabbi PREIB and in the actual IB and I think you're lying. Freshman year was the easiest. Anything after was bullshit. The whole program is shit. It values workload over education.
@Vorock16 Lying? How? This girl got accepted and wants to know what not to do. I gave her the basic outline. Should I say "STAY AWAY FROM IB! ITS HELL!"? I say freshman year was the hardest 'cause I wasn't in MYP before hand.
"It values workload over education." It depend on the student- if you can't keep up and learn at that pace it becomes a "workload". I know plenty that get A and B's and retain info. The college part is true though. I noticed IB has changed up a bit since last year.
Oh and it's worth it. But don't believe the whole we're a family crap. Yes you're closer but it's not like the family stuff they tell you.
It's not hard as long as you can keep up with the work. don't procrastinate though
and don't freak out over an F D or C- the only grade that counts is the semester grade which is averaged and weighted (you get about a .5 added to your GPA).
feel free to ask me more questions if you want to :)
lol this vid is really funny and for those who are like "don't down IB" I mean like for me its not like serious, its just a joke between all of us who don't sleep at night because of homework. lol
people like you make me appreciate the teachers that convinced me to do it, and my decision to stick with it. I'm halfway to the diploma, and I got my extended essay out of the way. I stressed so much, but now I am so relieved that I did it. The worst part is stressing, but once you do it it's no big deal.
Well, in all honesty to your question, it's a yes and no.
Homework is going to consume your greater existence for the next few years. But the thing is, it's a lot of work, but certainly not impossible.
And really, you get out of it what you put into it, just like in any other aspect of life.
But you aren't ISOLATED. You and your classmates are essentially going to take a jump off the cliff, but it's TOGETHER. Plus, with CAS hours, it's impossible for you to not have some extra-currics.
to get your IB diploma, you have to do 50 hours of each. For example creativity could be learning an instrument, action could be to practice a sport, and service is basically community service
CAS is meant to make you well-rounded. It shows that students are more than bookworms, know how to manage their time, and are actively involved in more than just one type of thing. C is for being creative, doing stuff that makes you use your right-brain such as playing an instrument, being in choir, making art, or acting. Even making fliers or posters count. A is for activity, anything that you do physically to excersize your body or something counts for that. service just involves volunteering.
Actually extra-curricular are usually considered CAS. I count Varsity Tennis as part of the Active component, and various clubs as service. I have time for a social life on the weekends even though I'm doing the IB Diploma. It's all about time-management. And taking challenging classes with rigorous coursework looks good on your transcripts when colleges look at them. It's a bargain, but people should understand that going into it. In this competitive world having that experince is havinga legup
i agree aswell, and you can do it in Holland, theres UWC Maastricht, theres the international schools in Den Haag and Amsterdam and im pretty sure theres more
I think the main reason why people hate the IB is because there is such a huge expectation to study 6 hours a day and stuff like that. You don't need to do so
In IB all you are doing is learning concepts and completing a few assignments. Although it may seem allot, chuck it all down into little bits, manage your time well (eg. study hard for 3 hours then you have the rest of the night off) and you'll be fine.
Its all about time management, so manage your time well and good luck
at my school IB is a lot more of participation in discussions than it is homework. You have to read and understand stuff, but there isn't much busy work.
At my school we rely allot on homework and writing notes and told to do "6 hours of study a night."
When sometimes all you need to do is to discuss a concept with your teacher for a lesion, then do an hours worth of question to get the concept concreted.
Ib kids are just like everyone else! they're not smarter or anything like that. They just happen to be in a program that makes the lessons a little more in depth than other student's program is. So, seriously, RELAX!
is IB really worth it? like, does it help your standings with colleges and boost your credentials? i mean, i'm more intelligent than most of the people who attend my high school, but i shirk from actual work. so i'm not going to join the programme.
well, it depends, in most cases it's worth it. east coast colleges & universities like IB a lot more than west coast. but if you don't like gratuitious amounts of work, then dont' do it. it's hard, but not as hard as people make it out to seem
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
IB is bad because it's run by the UN and it's their way of wanting to take over and have a one-world government. I would run the UN out of the USA if I could. They are dangerous even being holocaust deniers!
I'm an IB student (Spain) and I don't know why the fuck IB students usually think they are special or different. I've been drinking or going out every week and I have good marks. I just DISLIKE IBO because they are pretencious, burocratic idiots who just think how good sounds IBO.
And just so you know, Spanish IB students have to study high school courses too. My God, we're not ten.
I'm also an IB Student (Peru) and well I also hang out with my friends and have fun, but sometimes I locked in my room to complete all the tasks, I guess we're in deadline.
The good thing of IB is that it completely change your perspective of reality, and makes you more conscious about almost everything. The bad thing, at least, is that sometimes all the fucking numbers, letters freaks you out! more if you are a procrastinator
@DanBFinn Meh i guess if you plan well, you can go ot drink, smoke or do whatever you want at any time. Only problem is that most students are lazy and thus they do not pla nvery well (like me), and so even very simple things become very stressful, especially in the IB:
Being in IB makes you abnormal because you are not taking normal high school courses. Don't hold me accountable for what other people have said- I can only be accountable for what I have said.
I also want to kill IB...because I'm a certificate student and am hated by every person in the IB program for "corrupting with my stupid". Yeah, taking courses leisurely and doing WELL in them, while having a job and a social life; sure sounds stupid, doesn't it? That and it gives people like you god complexes, and gives you a reason to treat average students like we're less than trash. Stop whining, stop harrassing normal students, and stop assuming being IB means you won't have a future.
I am in the IB program and I still have a social life and do well in all of my classes.... We love our normal people. Many times, we become envious of them. I think you had a bad experience with your IB program. Not all of us are like that!
I'm sorry, but your saying "we love our normal people" destroyed everything else you said. That's again implying that you're better than normal and so out there and different. I know you were trying to be friendly, but just look at the other comments left on this very video! rsjokes, for one, is also what is seen as typical in most systems. "We love our normal people"...jeez, you're...gah. When you're on the side that gets the benefit of the double-standards, I'm not surprised you don't notice.
BingKafei, I agree with you. At my school IB is the shit, and everyone who doesn't take it is either considered "standard" "average" or "too lazy" it is very negative. But when you say that there's a side that gets the benefit of the double-standards, although there is some truth to it, IB is a choice. At my school everyone has an opportunity to be involved in at least one class and it is strongly recommended so it's not as corrupt as you think.
Also, the benefits you speak of are earned. We work hard to get good grades in our classes and more importantly good scores on our tests. We don't benefit from little effort and procrastination.
Sure you are right! what, we are in the IB program so that means we are all the same c r a z y , n e r d y + e v i l f r e a k s???! And I also HAD social life...like 2 weeks ago when I still had plenty of time to waste "cos the exams are sooo far away...2weeks and 3 days, u kno, I can handle it"
All CAS hours and the following papers are due in the next week:
Extended Essay, World Lit 1, World Lit 2, TOK Paper, Science Labs 1-7, Historical Investigation, Math SL Paper, (my group 6 stuff), Music compositions, Music Paper, Music Solos, and more that I am probably forgetting....
*twitches and chugs more caffeine*
I'll be ok!! I got plenty of time!! Then all I have to do is memorize everything for exams!!
of all of that is due at the same time then your school is doing something wrong. We write our World LIt 1 paper, our Jr. Year, World LIt 2 and TOK paper at the beginning of senior year, science labs throughout the year(s), historical investigation throughout senior year, math portfolios throughout the year(s).
haha loool. now you know, that if they cancelled IB and made us go to class with regular ed students you would freak! me and ib gotz a hate/love relation ship, i love it today, but watch tomoro i will have forgotten about a homework assignment and resent IB and its followers.
I'm a math person. Tok is just useless for me. All the extra essays for tok, i have enoght essays without it. If you like tok, its fine by me, but sorry,I just don't get it what so intresting in it.
That's easier said than done. For me, half way through Grade 12, I wish SO MUCH that I could drop IB, but it took me this long to realize what bullshit it is. That and anyone at my school who drops it gets pretty much blacklisted by our guidance department.
same goes here.. i'm halfway through the 11th grade year, and if we even seem like we want to quit IB, we are transferred back to our zone schools and put in remedial classes
i'm almost through y 11th grade year, and they are saying the same for us except now they are trying to again switch our ib program to another school, making it even worse, we wil have to get up twice as early, stay up twice as late to finish assignments and be thrice as evil in the morning ^_^ whoo! T_T. so we all have to stay in though so we won't have to go to remedial classes and make up classes IB made us miss, like tenth grade lit. errr.....so IB peepz might as well stick together!
ahaha..replace the name with "Farley" and this is dead on..and for the guy that asked how much we pay in America:
This probably won't help you much but our coordinator gets our school a grant so the students actually pay nothing, but i believe each exam is about 200 dollars
hey..its me again...can u guys tell me how much did u pay for the 2 years of ib..? here in romania we pay 3000 euros at our school..thats about 5.200 $..pls tell me how much u pay
If you want to quit, do it. I'm halfway through Grade 12 wishing I had never done it...TOK and IB Drama are disgustingly bad. (DON'T TAKE IB DRAMA IF YOU LIKE ACTING!!) The IB definitely isn't for everyone. It's best to switch to certificates or drop it now rather than wish you had later.
IB sucks, but in the end it is not that bad. I made this in a procrastination effort while finishing my EE. Just so frustrated...and to the people who think I posted this because I did not get my diploma, well, you are very wrong. I did get it. This is just showing the frustration of many of a particular sect of IB at the crapfactory that is Warwick High School.
Be prepared for two very tough years. If you are taking pre-IB now, then know that that is not the real thing. The two years after pre-IB are much more challenging. Never ever underestimate the IB, it is the mistake many people make. Despite all the work, it is worth it, because it gives you very good general knowledge and skills that you would not acquire otherwise. Best of luck to you!
wat the hell is wrong with u! i am in my freshman year of ib, and i love it, even though sadly, all my friends stayed in regular classes. But in is great!!dont insult the ib!
If you are currently in pre-IB, then know that you are merely underestimating it, which is a very very dangerous thing to do. Pre-IB is like kindergarten compared to the two years that follow.
IB gave me most of my friends...i rather enjoyed my time in IB...it was hard, yes, but worth it...esp when i found out i got the diploma :) i think most of the people who are bitter here are just mad cause they didnt get the diploma...
im not going into the ib program, i couldve if i wanted, im one of the smartest in my class and all, but i wanted to stay at the high school my sibliings went to, and i don't want some fancy education, but now, all but two of my friends are going to ib and i wont ever see them again, i know how it goes, they'll make new friends and forget about the old ones...
I HATE THE IB!!! this is coming from a student at the International School of Geneva (the damn place where the IB was created). I HATE everything about and my parents will disown me if i change to another program, because oh god if i do anything other than the IB i will be a failur. I HATE THIS!! last saturday was my 4 suicide attempt and argggghhh!!!!!!!!!!! there seriously is nothing good about this program (other than toturing students)!
you know that you're in IB when your friends cry to let out all the stress from the stupid assignments that dont really count in the end
(PS i already wasted three years on IB and to say that i should quit now is BS, i better get it after spending my precious social and sleeping hours on it)
IB is a major propaganda push by UNESCO and is very dangerous to Americans and American form of freedom. To find out more, join the Yahoo group USPEIN.
I want to understand why some people are against IB (other than IB students who complain about IB -- just LEAVE then!) because I don't see the threat.
Im against IB because they say lies. They tell you that will be special, and that you will study with different methods and speak more about the worlds problems, and thats a lie. I have just finished it and it doenst worth, if someone is thinking to do IB i seriously recommend not to do it.
Well, I personally think the IB made me feel like more of a world citizen rather than just a US citizen. I read world literature and even though I just did US history, its just the sense that I'm taking an exam on this non-american paper and its going to be read by people in Argentina or something. It gives you a nice sense.
IB is so awesome. You all should be proud to have the chance to get to go to an IB school. So, shut up. If you don't like IB, go to a different school!
Very cute. Somedays I wish we could kill IB. like the day before any IA is due or the weekend before extented essays, but other days it's not so bad. By the time you're an Ib senior, most of the teachers are past caring what you do in class as long as it doesn't disturb them. In all honesty, my HL Chem class is my funnest class, if you don't count the actual learning.
when you finish you;ll be thankful. I graduated last year and wasn't particulary intelligent but good teachers helped me get a 93.8/100. Just keep working
you sleep much less in your second year, but you get used to it. It does prepare you exceptionally for Uni. IB students find university much easier than students from other courses.
In the first year I went out and partied a lot, basically every weekend, and still managed to be predicted 38-40.

Lots of work?= Yes
Hard?= Do u procrastinate?
IB ppl have no social life?= U social before IB?
IB ppl smoke, drink etc.?= Do u do these?
IB ppl hate life?= If you fuck up.
Colleges care?= Kind of but on your trans. it'll say you were in IB way up in SMALL print in the corner.
Is it bad?= Just try it. Not for you? Get out. Don't ask ppl who say "ITS HELL" or "Its'EASY" They're not you.
Stuck up?= Just the ones who practically shit out IB pride
Did I like IB?= It's school- what do u think?

But you aren't ISOLATED. You and your classmates are essentially going to take a jump off the cliff, but it's TOGETHER. Plus, with CAS hours, it's impossible for you to not have some extra-currics.

um..what are CAS hours? i read about them, but don't quite get it.
blackberryfan101 2 years ago
@blackberryfan101
it stands fro Creativity, Action, Service
to get your IB diploma, you have to do 50 hours of each. For example creativity could be learning an instrument, action could be to practice a sport, and service is basically community service
CordLessAccount 2 years ago
CAS is meant to make you well-rounded. It shows that students are more than bookworms, know how to manage their time, and are actively involved in more than just one type of thing. C is for being creative, doing stuff that makes you use your right-brain such as playing an instrument, being in choir, making art, or acting. Even making fliers or posters count. A is for activity, anything that you do physically to excersize your body or something counts for that. service just involves volunteering.
touyuber19 2 years ago
Actually extra-curricular are usually considered CAS. I count Varsity Tennis as part of the Active component, and various clubs as service. I have time for a social life on the weekends even though I'm doing the IB Diploma. It's all about time-management. And taking challenging classes with rigorous coursework looks good on your transcripts when colleges look at them. It's a bargain, but people should understand that going into it. In this competitive world having that experince is havinga legup

kumano5 2 years ago
No, it is not.
I think the main reason why people hate the IB is because there is such a huge expectation to study 6 hours a day and stuff like that. You don't need to do so
In IB all you are doing is learning concepts and completing a few assignments. Although it may seem allot, chuck it all down into little bits, manage your time well (eg. study hard for 3 hours then you have the rest of the night off) and you'll be fine.
Its all about time management, so manage your time well and good luck

at my school IB is a lot more of participation in discussions than it is homework. You have to read and understand stuff, but there isn't much busy work.
touyuber19 2 years ago
That is the best way to approach IB i say.
At my school we rely allot on homework and writing notes and told to do "6 hours of study a night."
When sometimes all you need to do is to discuss a concept with your teacher for a lesion, then do an hours worth of question to get the concept concreted.

is IB really worth it? like, does it help your standings with colleges and boost your credentials? i mean, i'm more intelligent than most of the people who attend my high school, but i shirk from actual work. so i'm not going to join the programme.
yagi6993 2 years ago
well, it depends, in most cases it's worth it. east coast colleges & universities like IB a lot more than west coast. but if you don't like gratuitious amounts of work, then dont' do it. it's hard, but not as hard as people make it out to seem

I'm an IB student (Spain) and I don't know why the fuck IB students usually think they are special or different. I've been drinking or going out every week and I have good marks. I just DISLIKE IBO because they are pretencious, burocratic idiots who just think how good sounds IBO.
And just so you know, Spanish IB students have to study high school courses too. My God, we're not ten.

I'm also an IB Student (Peru) and well I also hang out with my friends and have fun, but sometimes I locked in my room to complete all the tasks, I guess we're in deadline.
The good thing of IB is that it completely change your perspective of reality, and makes you more conscious about almost everything. The bad thing, at least, is that sometimes all the fucking numbers, letters freaks you out! more if you are a procrastinator
mcaugusto93 1 year ago 2
@DanBFinn Meh i guess if you plan well, you can go ot drink, smoke or do whatever you want at any time. Only problem is that most students are lazy and thus they do not pla nvery well (like me), and so even very simple things become very stressful, especially in the IB:

Being in IB makes you abnormal because you are not taking normal high school courses. Don't hold me accountable for what other people have said- I can only be accountable for what I have said.
CantStopTheSound 2 years ago
I also want to kill IB...because I'm a certificate student and am hated by every person in the IB program for "corrupting with my stupid". Yeah, taking courses leisurely and doing WELL in them, while having a job and a social life; sure sounds stupid, doesn't it? That and it gives people like you god complexes, and gives you a reason to treat average students like we're less than trash. Stop whining, stop harrassing normal students, and stop assuming being IB means you won't have a future.
BingKafei 2 years ago
I am in the IB program and I still have a social life and do well in all of my classes.... We love our normal people. Many times, we become envious of them. I think you had a bad experience with your IB program. Not all of us are like that!
CantStopTheSound 2 years ago 2
I'm sorry, but your saying "we love our normal people" destroyed everything else you said. That's again implying that you're better than normal and so out there and different. I know you were trying to be friendly, but just look at the other comments left on this very video! rsjokes, for one, is also what is seen as typical in most systems. "We love our normal people"...jeez, you're...gah. When you're on the side that gets the benefit of the double-standards, I'm not surprised you don't notice.
BingKafei 2 years ago
BingKafei, I agree with you. At my school IB is the shit, and everyone who doesn't take it is either considered "standard" "average" or "too lazy" it is very negative. But when you say that there's a side that gets the benefit of the double-standards, although there is some truth to it, IB is a choice. At my school everyone has an opportunity to be involved in at least one class and it is strongly recommended so it's not as corrupt as you think.
touyuber19 2 years ago
Also, the benefits you speak of are earned. We work hard to get good grades in our classes and more importantly good scores on our tests. We don't benefit from little effort and procrastination.
touyuber19 2 years ago
Sure you are right! what, we are in the IB program so that means we are all the same c r a z y , n e r d y + e v i l f r e a k s???! And I also HAD social life...like 2 weeks ago when I still had plenty of time to waste "cos the exams are sooo far away...2weeks and 3 days, u kno, I can handle it"

All CAS hours and the following papers are due in the next week:

*twitches and chugs more caffeine*
I'll be ok!! I got plenty of time!! Then all I have to do is memorize everything for exams!!

of all of that is due at the same time then your school is doing something wrong.

I wish we had IB music at my school.

IB sucks, but in the end it is not that bad. I made this in a procrastination effort while finishing my EE.

Be prepared for two very tough years. If you are taking pre-IB now, then know that that is not the real thing. The two years after pre-IB are much more challenging. Never ever underestimate the IB, it is the mistake many people make. Despite all the work, it is worth it, because it gives you very good general knowledge and skills that you would not acquire otherwise. Best of luck to you!

Well, I personally think the IB made me feel like more of a world citizen rather than just a US citizen.
