Okay, you can't really see my blog titles, but this post is titled:
overwhelming isn't it?
Seriously, I so cannot wait until IB is done and over with! I'm just really, really, really tired. Yet I cannot she the logic in how a person who is undergoing the cert programme can complain about too much work... Let me show you the difference:
Similarity:
1. Both parties go to the same school from 7:15am - 2:00pm (differs on different days) and have the same subject choices...
Difference:
1. IB diploma students take 3 Higher Level subjects & 3 Standard Level subjects. Cert programme have the choice of taking 6 Standard Level subjects but can decide which from the 6 they want to drop, making them only have 5 Standard Level subjects in total.
2. IB diploma students HAVE to do a 4,000 word essay, also known as the excruciating EE, whilst Cert students DON'T have to do it.
3. IB diploma students HAVE to do a TOK Presentation and a 1,500 word TOK Essay. Cert students ONLY have to do a TOK Presentation.
4. Generally speaking, Cert Students have more free periods than IB diploma students. (Not to specifically name anyone - this Cert student can have only 1 subject a day while IB students would have at minimum 2-3 subjects a day)...
I can't pinpoint anymore differences, but as you can see... They have an easier life than we IB diploma students do, so don't go complaining about work!!!
