having my finals two days from today.

im not overly smart, but the mocks were very manageable.
if you have a solid understanding of the world and a decent general knowledge, you can score well even with less work.

i party alot here in germany, even with the exam, and im predicted at 38 points (out of 45).
its manageable, but i guess its alot higher than the american high school standard.

especially math higher level and physics higher level is similar to university courses.

bottom of the line, if ur a bit smart, you can easily manage the IB

I did IB in Denver (G Dub represent!) and if you can handle the workload it's definitely worth it. I learned how to write at a serious college level, got college credit, looks sick on college apps, and TOK will change your perspective on life. In regards to the workload, I graduated with a 35 on my exams, (3- 5's, 3-6's, and 2 extra points for Extended Essay and my TOK Internal Assesment) while still smoking a good amount of ganj and skiing around 35-40 days a year.

I've been through the IB and now I teach it. It all depends on your learning/work style. For me it was the best option but many people do not "get along" with it. PM me if you have any questions about it.
