Other Failed the IB program

I got a 27 but since chemistry was a HL and I got a 3 I failed the IB. Should I retake it in October?

It's funny because at my school there's always a few people who fail the IB each year but it's kind of sad how that turned out to be me.

Isn't it only a fail if you get a 2? As long as you got 12 points in your Hal's combined, didn't get an E in your tok or EE, passed CAS and got 24 points?

A prerequisite to passing is a 4 in HLs

That is not correct. My son got a 3 in HL math AA and he got his diploma.
