    I did what you describe until I had to do the IB in 11th and 12th grade… the IB was crazy. I think my first two years of college were literally easier than IB.

      I did it in ib as well cause i went to a really hard highscool and then moved to ib so i knew most of the chemistry, phyiscs and math already. I did have to study for my other subjects tho.

        Yeah, I think my highschool kinda fucked me over. It was one of those stupid “international” highschools where we did the IGCSE before the IB — and the IGCSEs suuuuuuck. I literally didn’t study at all and got an A in Math. I think it did jack shit to prepare me. You may be able to tell I still have quite a bit of festered up anger towards the IGCSE… 😬

          I went to school in mainland europe so its different there but im really mad at the school i went to for fucking everyone over. They did not teach the ib curriculum how they shouldve and then they were surprised the passing rates were like 40%.
