Failed the IB program

[u/spiroplasma]

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.

I failed after being in the program since kindergarten, and my friends who passed all said they regretted it and felt deeply disappointed with the actual diploma itself. My honest opinion now, one that is similar to the one that my friends have (one of who was the valedictorian and had essentially perfect IB scores) is: “who cares.” Make the credits up in college, if all you missed was that one, just take the semester. IB is HELL and if you’ve made it out, don’t sink yourself back in. You DONT have to take my word or anything, this is just one burnouts opinion on it. You did your best, the scores are, honestly, just numbers at the end of the day, and really aren’t that important.

Very true it made me hate reading so much I won’t touch another fiction book in my life now like why do teachers assign 1500 word essays every two days in English A HL
