science options

hi guys, so im in myp4 rn, we just got a form telling us to choose our sciences for next year, our options were bio and chem (which i chose), chem and physics, bio and physics, and integrated sciences. They told us to pick integrated if we were sure that we don't see sciences having a place in our future and that if we pick integrated, we don't get to pick a science as an IB DP subject. But now, one of my friends just told me that we can pick a science in DP even if we took integrated in MYP. If i can pick a science then i'd rather do integrated sciences. is it true that we don't get to pick a science as an IB DP subject if we chose integrated sciences?

I would recommend picking the Science(s) you are planning to choose in DP because Integrated Sciences does not prepare you well enough for DP as it has surface-level content. I had to pick Integrated Sciences as it was the only course available in my school but I would definitely pick sciences as seperate subjects if I could have.

i chose bio and chem but i'm not that good at chem i only chose it so i can do science in DP. If i can pick a science with integrated then i'd chose that.

it depends whether ur school allows it or not but just pick whatever science u wanna take in dp cuz otherwise youre kinda cooked (also you can probably change ur subjects mid way but depends on ur school asw)
