<![CDATA[IP that leads to IBDP or GCE'A' Level]]>Agree, I personally believe at this stage, grooming my DD to be well-rounded is more impt, she can specialise at the Uni level. So decided to enrol my DD for IP leading to IB. Thank you all so much for the info I have received, which had helped me made the decision together with my DD. Much Appreciated 🙂

A Levels is more rigorous in a certain sense, but the IB trains you to be truly well-rounded. Good luck!

Has anyone wondered why our 'A' Level syllabus go to so much depth? Is this really rigour?

It's supposed to prepare us for uni.

I have heard comments that thr IB isn't as rigorous as the A levels (referring to depth of study. Any views? Thanks

It's true that it's not as in depth but there's more topics covered.

Yes, I think that is a very important consideration, thanks for highlighting! I am more inclined towards the IB program. Much appreciated!

Hi,

IB is the one we need to read up on. The main IB website is at http://www.ibo.org/. Hope it helps.

Hi, would be grateful to get some advice and views on choosing between an IP program that leads to IBDP or an IP program that leads to the GCE 'A' Levels. Thanks!
