I love I.T but then there is I.T/English which is annoying.

 

[sd92]

Right! never heard of tht?

 

[Jaztheman]

No I mean as in When you have to use your English skills in I.T and I don't just mean spellings etc.

 

[sd92]

o i see what you mean, when you get to GCSE, its a piece of cake

 

[shravi]

I've lived in a few countries and wherever I've been, the school has always followed IB. From what I've heard, IB is a truer test of a student's potential.

 

[sd92]

What on earth is IB?

 

[barmyarmy]

International Baccalaureate

 

[sd92]

Is that a fancy word for IQ?

 

[Will_NA]

No, it's like A-Levels.

 

[barmyarmy]

Is that a fancy word for IQ?

No. It's a qualification like A Levels.

 

[sd92]

O right, its all too complicated...

A levels over IB anyday.

 

[sd92]

Im sure Barmyarmy will know, is Adarsh correct Colin?

 

[shravi]

Or maybe you could have a look at what IB is and perhaps compare it to A-Levels as people have different opinions and ambitions.
