| i'm sorry, but those going for EAS still go to my daughter's school for the first year and leave. there are of course students getting 10As in CE and continue their studies for IB but eventually didn't get a 45. furthermore, no locals in that particular class got a PG 7 for Eng A2 HL, only a girl from Brazil got it. |

| i assume that a student should try their best to get the highest grade, but not by using this kind of strategy. i thought you are talking about the strategy to get a 7 instead of a 6, but i now realise i'm wrong. |

| yes most ppl choose 4HL at first including my daughter but almost everyone drop one HL eventually. it is not necessary and the workload between HL and SL is a huge difference. |

| Still do not quite understand how to use the choice of HL/SL choice as a strategy, can you explain more? *************************** Annie IBDP has unique feature in HL/SL, eventually, I don't fully understand how to play around. As a dad, I wish my boy can do as many HL as possible to challenge his potential and ability. The IB coordinator and other parents always remind me don't think about that. They shared with me that University admission officer more focus on predicted or actual IB scores instead of HL/SL, unless some programs listed out specific language or special requirements. Aim for 3HL instead of 4 or 5 HL even you are capable to do that, maximise the score >> HL. My son picked 6 subjects based on the following considerations: 1. Target programs - Pharmacy, Medicine, QF, Economics........ 2. Admission grades of different programs 3. % of different grades in IB subjects, both HL/SL 4. Confidence to get max scores and margins 5. Grade boundaries of different grade and different subject If my son is capable to take 4HL, he will consider his target programs like Medicine or Pharmacy needs Chemistry HL - 7, Economics or QF needs Maths HL - 7. Physics and Economics need to weigh, in another post, I addressed that Economics is a bit easier to score 6-7, he also feels doing eassy is easier than lab reports... timewise. He also evaluated the quality of teachers and pick the right subjects. For Language is another issue, he must take both syllabus A and Literature and Language stream. He prefers SL to maximise the predicted score..... some of his classmates' English standard close to native and aim for Law may opt for HL...... I heard some parents said, SL may 1 grade higher than HL (I can't validate that yet...). After this reply, I should use "Analysis" instead of "Strategy" in my previous post. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. ANChan59 [ 本帖最後由 ANChan59 於 11-10-6 10:39 編輯 ] |

| Just shared what I did for my son in previous years. 1. Exposure - from P5 onward, I brought him to visit factories in HK & China, different office/work environment, visited universities and saw their research outputs, business lunch and dinner. No specific objectives, just exposure only.... 2. Internship - business, research, shadowing ...... like private hospital vs public hospital, family medicine vs surgery.... teaching vs research....... HKU vs HKPU vs CUHK.... 3. Strengths vs interests - Maths is his exceptional strength, but he will not take Pure Maths or Science subjects, he is interested in economics and finance which is highly related to numbers and modelling. He loves IT, but he won't study IT (software or hardware) or take it as career...... 4. Experience sharing - once he identified some areas of interest, we arrnaged some gatherings or telephone talks with "insiders" to explore the pros and cons........Always have conflcted opinions, it's upto him to validate and narrow down his options. Initially, he was interested in Pharmacy, after talking to two "insiders", he switched to medicine.... 5. Elimination - most kids can't tell where to go, but they can tell where they don't want to go........ his elimination may not sensible, just gut feeling or misled by wrong info..... 1-5 not in sequencial order...... That is brainstorming, better before F4..... Once narrow down the career options, checked the admission requirements (Language, general and special) by attending Information day and seminars, meet with further studies officers........ It's critical to pick suitable subjects and admission grades before F4. No matter how hard we try, still have gaps....... that's what he need to improve between F4 - F6. Different family has different ways of doing career exploration. Just sharing, no right or wrong..... no single way. [ 本帖最後由 ANChan59 於 11-10-6 20:44 編輯 ] |

| I guess your son is your only child, right? Obviously you do a lot and plan very very well for him. I have 2 kids, the younger one still in primary, so not so much time for the elder one. Yet actually my elder daughter does not like us asking her about her IB choices or career interest, not to say arranging any meetings or visits for her. So I just let it be. |
