IB students here?

wow. i wish i got a chance to answer this qn earlier. but well, i guess to would be good reference for others.
well, IB may seem very stressful but compared to GCSE it not that bad. GCSE out of the 3 main education system (GCSE, IB, AP) is probably the most stressful. your entire future for GCSE is based on one exam. whereas IB is spaced out, i mean yeah, the finals are like 80% of your grade but still its not as bad as GCSE. in AP, 你 take the SAT, and though its only based on one exam 你 can retake it as many time as 你 would like, 你 are not allowed to do that for GCSE. so i would consider AP to be the most relaxed out of all the systems.
i have not gone through the IB system yet but i will be in sept. i am abt to finished my IB MYP and will be doing my IB diploma 下一个 semster. but from all my 老友记 who are older than me who have gonna through it, say, it is very stressful but if 你 do well, it can be very rewarding. as IB is recognized at this most moment almost everywhere whereas GCSE is only in Australia and AP mostly only in america and canada.
from what i hear, the hardest subject is EnglishA at HL and psych is hard but can be very fun. and of course TOK can be a drag. but overall, from what i see IB is a really good program but it 你 can take the pressure all yr round only for like a few months, IB is not the program for you.
