The difficulty of any subject depends on how difficult do you think the subject is. If you have interest in the subject, then obviously you will have keenness to learn and hence you will find the subject interesting. Though it is true that IB can be challenging as it requires lots of time due to its core elements such as ToK, Creativity, Action, Service (CAS).

Also, it requires students to prepare lab reports and take up project work for experiment and research for which they may fall short of time. But once you learn the time management skill, then nothing would be tough for you.

Try to complete assignments before or on time to avoid any hassle and stress. This way, you will get time for revision resulting in better grades. So, don’t think about the difficulty of subject rather make it more fun by developing your interest into it.

Being an IB student, I take say that IB seems to be hard only for those who lack in time management. Also, the toughness of any subject depends upon a student’s interest and will power to learn the subject and working on the activities assigned. The difficulty of IB completely depends on how you manage your time and meet the deadlines.

As long as you would be attentive in class, practicing and revising, IB will not be a hard nut to crack. So, to pass IB with flying colours, manage your time, keep up with deadlines, take a proper sleep and best of luck!
