Should I take A-level or IB Diploma | A&J Education

[@achyuththouta6957]

Getting a good score in the IB is extremely hard and if you're not a very hardworking student don't take the IB because you'll be jeopardizing your chances of getting into some universities. I know some people who have 776 at HL but 33-34 overall and couldn't get into universities that A level students with equivalent grades could get into because you only take 3 subjects at A level making it easier. Most universities care about your overall score. If you're good at some subjects and bad at others you'll be voluntarily putting yourself at a disadvantage.

I live in Spain but I am native and I want to study at Oxford(English language and literature to be exact)however I am not sure if I should do the ib or A-levels..

[@ManasWithAnS]

I’m taking 3 A levels(CIE) including all sciences, along with 2 AS courses in English and Maths. Are more in depth than IB or is it more or less the same?

[@aandjschool]

A-levels tend to go more in depth for each subject, however it can vary

[@YAS9112]

I guess A Level would be good for my son since he might go to an American University

[@aandjschool]

For American universities IB would be more advisable

[@Freefreepalestinefreemyland]

but a levels are still okay to take if u are going to an American university?

[@aandjschool]

Yes most do accept A levels

[@aandjschool]

That depends on the specific university, a lot of them do

[@astridhelgesen2652]

You must take math, and you can take 2 science courses in addition.

[@rujarijal5562]

So which one is better ?

[@aandjschool]

It depends on your goals and universities you will be applying to. But generally IB offers more diversity
