IB was kind of a mixed bag for me. I definitely would not do it again and I probably would encourage my kids to do AP instead. It made me really good at BSing papers but that's about it. I think I would have been prepared for college through AP at my highschool.
My sixth area was psychology. One of my World Lits had something to do with the role of women in the Awakening. I wrote my history exit paper on Dwight Eisenhower and his relationship with Chiang Kai'Shek and Nationalist China. My extended essay topic was "How did the television show 'I Love Lucy' reflect the values and trends of the 1950s?"
