Can anyone explain the IB system in comparison to the IGCSE A-Levels

[abdulrhaman munther]

I'm actually lost over here and I cant even decide what to do. Please keep in mind the i've finished my 6 IGCSE OL with a grade of 4A* and 2A. I need to choose the system which will provide me better acceptance in the UK and USA and i'm a real hard worker. What are the subjects i need to take? What are the higher levels and standard levels? Do i need to take them together? Is there anything like history or buisness? I'm really willing to study engineering or medicine.. PLEAAAASE GUID ME

i think a-levels is a better option with equal acceptance around the world and in UK even more preferred being a UK course. in A-levels you could do pcm at As and A2 and in math the answer M1 and M3. if you are more ambitious you could do eco also at As and A2 or just As and also english at As or even A2. although if you like another subject you could do that. but i must say that eco is wel exceoted by most universities. also with a levels you can do AP and also other activities which you wont get time for in IB
it is just a suggestion

Like do you advice me to take SAT 1 in addition to my ALs? Any tips on how to score well in AS?

only if you think you can do well and if you want to apply to US universities and if any of the other universities you want to apply to have specifically asked for a SAT and also to do well in As it is best to finish the syllabus as early as possible and practice more papers. it is something you should prepare well, the system is similar to IG so you should know how to go about and if you are unhappy with your marks you can always re appear for those subjects so you should be less stressed out and do it properly
