After completing my IGCSE level, a IB Diploma Programme is better or a A Level Program?

i'm having the same problem.IB involves a lot of hard work(2 years of hard work including charity work,designing experiments etc.)& you have to do 6 subjects(broader knowledge in a mixture of fields,so you can choose frm a wide variety of professions).but IB is recognised in any university throughout the world.A level is more easier than IB(divided into 2 years:AS level means gr.12 & A2 level means gr.13). you can attend universty if you get excellent results at AS(gr.12)& you only have to do 3 or 4 subjects.(not much options to choose from for a profession as u only do 3/4 subects)but i'm gonna do A levels to be on the safer side!anyway,that's just my opinion.you should ask someone who really knows a lot abt bothof them.good luck & cheers!

I like the programme well did until this year, but thats another story.  If u feel u r strong, u dont have any skeletons in yr cupboard, u dont have young kids i.e. school age, u aren't too sensitive, u aren't fat, ugly if u r any of these dont go for it.........your life would become hell.  Your kids would go thru hell at school.  If u r confident and self assured u stand a better chance.  If its what u really want to do then go for it, knowing all the pitfalls, and good luck to u\nbtw......i wouldn't go on it for all the tea in china.

CBSE, right level. ICSE seems a bit of an overload, totally unnecessary.\n\nCBSE is more widely adopted in the country too.

There are IB workshops and conferences for teachers of different levels and subject matters held quite often in different parts of the world.  For example, if you are a visual arts teacher and need training, you just attend a workshop which will give you what you need to know. I've tried it, having attended one in Beijing since it's close by. The link below will help you. Or just contact the International Baccalaureate Organization.

It depends on your country of origin and what and why you want to study in the british isles. Message me if you want better advice.

god, I am not letting my brother join ib. its probably more convenient to just take Advanced Placement classes without the hooplah of the IB program. Its probably based on my experiences with friends who got stupid and missed one exam and was denied that stupid special diploma until they completed that final exam and passed. Better to just stay AP.

It's a british thing that occurs after 16 as an alternative to college. After completing your GCSE's at 16 you can either go to college for two years to get AS and A2 level qualifacations before going to university, or take the same qualifacations at a grammar school that has a sixth form. It's an extra two years attached to the grammar school for the purpose of A levels. It lasts until your 2nd year, typically 18 if you didn't have to complete a year upon which time you can go on to university. They are generally considered slightly better than colleges as you are in a school environment that encourages and supports your work more than college, although it doesn't get you prepared for University where the motivation is more your own deal.

Interlochen is a great school if you can somehow get in...my friend goes there and he loves it.  It would be totally worth your time to take the postgraduate course, but if you didn't want to, you could go to one of the camp programs during the summer.  \n\nA school like that called International Academy in Bloomfield Hills, MI is where I go.  However, the academics are more based on classes like Math and Science instead of the arts.  It's also a public school.  The thing that's interesting about it though is that they accept people from around the world, hence the name "International" Academy.  Since I am American, I had to actually go through a lottery, while International students were automatically accepted.  It's really a great environment, and I encourage you to look into it more.\n\nGood luck, hope this helped.

The one year is an accelerated course.  It is more general than the full two year course at other schools.  It sounds rather iffy.

U.S. is certainly better .First of all itis cheaper to study in U.S. than U.K. Also u tend to get a job more easily in U.S. after u complete ur degree than in U.K.

MY IB got me 24 college credits which took about half my general ed classes.  Because my IB program required AP classes to be taken before the second level, I guess I recieved more transfer credits.  You should have recieved some too.

Well, right now i am currently a senior trying to obtain the full IB diploma. To get into the IB program it is as simple as just asking your counselor about it, and telling them you are interested in the classes. The classes are quite rigorous and has a lot more work than just regular classes, you do not have as much free time once you enter the classes. Well, when you apply to colleges you do not know if you have your full diploma yet, so therefore you just say that you do, but colleges look at the IB diploma prestiguously. It does help in college, my friend that graduated that recieved her full diploma said that IB was harder than college, and she currently attends UCSB. You also can obtain college credit depending on what you recieve on the IB tests which you take to get your full diploma. There is no test needed to enter the program but to recieve your diploma there are tests which must be taken to a certain accumalative number of points to obtain it.

Take the AS level not the A Level it is a step above GCSE (O-level) and a step below A-Level. It is also cheaper than A-level and takes a shorter time to finish 1 year rather than 2 years. It is accepted by lots of universities and colleges as a requirement rather than A-level which is a little too advanced and could help you reduce some credits in some universities.\n\nTrust me I went through this I know.

I went to one for a year, then moved. The IB school had way higher standards, and I felt the teachers and principal really cared about education. Count your blessings.

I presume you're talking about the exam boards that actually set the syllabus and mark the papers? It's so long ago since I took my A levels I can't even remember what the exam boards for mine were! To be honest, it wasn't a big deal either, so I wouldn't worry too much - just go with the one that your chosen college or training provider follows. It's not like choosing a Uni!!\n\nYou could also get hold of a syllabus for each one for the subject you want to study (your tutor will be able to provide these) and compare that way. Modular A levels tend to be taught in discrete units with module exams taken at intervals throughout the 2 years which all count towards your final mark. A standard A level syllabus usually has a series of final exams. Which you prefer depends entirely on your learning style and of course what is offered in your chosen place of study.\n\nH
