I really enjoyed this article as well! Very well written.
Anyways as for me I have been accepted as an IB student in Finland(I am from the US) and I am thrilled to experience this challenge in a different country! I’m actually really excites for the challenge. I just wonder if the program differs from country to country.

Lol! I completely agree with you all: the IB diploma is two long years of academic, nail-pullint, POW-style torture. But trust me, it works. Compared to the insane amount of work the IB throws at you, or the mind-numbing material it forces you to digest, university will be BREEZE. Not only that, but I guarantee you that you will be much more prepared for the insanity of the workplace than non-IB students.

Guyz, having finished IB I can guarantee you a breeze of a first year in university!
Yes, IB was definitely intense and true to the last word the original author posted along w/ some of the comments from people. I didn’t start my TOK essay till 3 hours before it was due and still got my A =)
IB is the best thing ever despite all the hardships. The thing is, it does seem quiet difficult if you play by the book =P
Once you are done, you always reflect back as IB being the highlight of your academic career =D

That was an entertaining and well written article indeed. The points you made were funny yet interesting. However, I must say that I am still up for this IB ‘challenge’.

To all those saying “it’s not that hard” you must enjoy not sleeping, not doing any extracurricular activities besides CAS hours, and having so much work you have to take mental health days. Your school must have been doing it wrong.
However, I do enjoy the added challenge it has given me, however ironic you may find that to be. If you are bored in normal classes and/or wish to dedicate yourself to a much higher level, I recommend it. Just develop a good sense of humor and say goodbye to everything you love for two years. I heard it makes college a breeze.

IB is a simple concept, IBO is actually an experimental agency, and they have one simple question they want to settle, “To what extent (because IB LOVES “To what extent) can a student handle the pressure and stress of a large amount of homework that is actually not realistic, until they are unable to continue further and end their life.”
So far, they have been unable to provide fruitful results, as most participants in the study (aka, us IB students) are more afraid of their parents (i.e. asian parents) than death, and we also lack the time to plan out a suicide, being under the tremendous amount of homework, thus the IB program continues, until one day they are able to find a conclusion to the question.
