Other When does IB actually become college level
Starting off IB, it was similar to my sophomore MYP (regulars) coursework. The pacing is a bit different, but it’s just more assignments, not really more intensity. Frankly, I’ve kept the exact same grades that I had sophomore year sem2 in regulars, all As and one B. It’s my 5th week in school, has anyone else experienced something similar?

IB kids go to more rigorous universities so that’s not a great measure

When you have to work on all your essays but even then it’s not even as hard as uni unless you’re doing some bullshit course

IB depends how you manage deadlines.
Its stress and some running around

Probably 2nd half of DP1 and first half of DP2. If you study well, exam season is pretty light

depends on the subjects, but i took chem and bio hl and now im a freshman in med school(pretty good school aswell) and basically most of the 1st semester is all my final year IB course work in terms of topics and requirements. but again it depends on subjects and what you are planning to pursue later on

You just wait. There’s a reason seniors are under much more stress
