but it's about your ability at first. those who are from dgs, dbs, spcc only got a 6 for their PG.
Are you talking about English A2 or A1? My son wish to study law, so I think he has to take English A1 HL to show his ability to Universities.

| You are right. but we also struggled during his G7-G9. Once he settled down and focus more on academic and career consideration, it's the chance for you. Your case is typical, no need to worry. Sometimes, I need to explain to him why this gathering is important, like a Chair professor of XXU in MMM Faculty will sit next to you and you can chat with him about the program you are interested in, it's up to you......... he had a good chat with the Professor and impressed him so much. A year later, he sent an email to the Professor with CV and the attachment was arranged. Of course, he turned down some other occassions due to different reasons, like he was busy, clashes with his other engagements, not interested......... [ 本帖最後由 ANChan59 於 11-10-7 11:22 編輯 ] |

| The IBO has cancelled A1 and A2 courses this year, in which they changed it to A Lit/A Lit & Lang. Pure literature is more difficult to get a higher grade than Literature and Language while L&L is more useful in daily life. I recommend you to take L&L Higher but be reminded that it is really difficult to get a 7. |

| ANChan59, Many thanks for your contribution to this topic. It seems that DBS and SPCC do not offer Business and Management for their IBD students while LPCUWC offer only SL to this subject. Why don’t the elite schools offer this subject as elective? Is it less valued by Professors from the renowned universities? Is it considered too laid back to take this subject? How do you compare the choices of this subject and Economics if someone who wants to be enrolled in a hot professional subject? Many thanks. Tommy |

| Tommy I try to answer your questions. ********************* It seems that DBS and SPCC do not offer Business and Management for their IBD students while LPCUWC offer only SL to this subject. [I am not sure SPCC & LPCUWC's rationale, but I know DBS offered the Business & Mgt elective before. Students didn't take it may be due to the elective not their cup of tea.] Why don’t the elite schools offer this subject as elective? [DBS offers the said program before, no one take it.] Is it less valued by Professors from the renowned universities? [Most business schools won't take B&M as compulsory subject. If my son take this elective will narrow down his choices of program in UG.] Is it considered too laid back to take this subject? [I didn't review the syllabus and shouldn't comment on this. Some parents may have your feeling. Also a good IBDP teacher should stretch each student a bit and also consider their predicted grade.] How do you compare the choices of this subject and Economics if someone who wants to be enrolled in a hot professional subject? [After discussing with different professors in different occasions, they focus on predicted grades of IBDP more than individual subjects. May be other parents or insider to verify this. I further reviewed the % of students got grade 6-7 in two subjects in previous exams, no matter SL or HL, Economics is easier to get better grade, but I don't mean Economics easier than B&M. Personally, I consider Economics is more difficult than B&M. What you mean hot professional programs? If you mean Professional Accountance, QFin......., B&M is not compulsory, and universities will adopt school-based admission, so students will take mgt in the 1st year. For non-JUPAS in all universities, they consider applicants individually. Professors may consider the applicants a bit different from JUPAS, I guess they may prefer Economics in QFin.] ANChan59 [ 本帖最後由 ANChan59 於 11-10-10 10:44 編輯 ] |

| I also think L&L is more practical compared to Lit. What I think is a 6 in A1 Lit HL is good score to me, a 7 need a bit of luck. |

| Quote:Initially, I also thought Lit more advance than Lit & Lang. After clarify with a few sources, they said both are equivalent with different emphasis. Furthermore, Lit may have more past rev ... I do hope universities seeing these 2 subjects equally. If so I would like my son to take L&L. But lack of past exam material is a concern. |

| I guess universities will treat both equally as most professors may not know the details. They only consider HL/SL (one grade difference) and mother language or not, A will be fine. I read some assignments from my son, its interesting but not easy. Write an eassy about Post Colonialism..... Analyse an adv from newspaper - content analysis ...... Good for them in further education and career.... |
