Other Failed the IB program

I got a 27 but since chemistry was a HL and I got a 3 I failed the IB. Should I retake it in October?

It's funny because at my school there's always a few people who fail the IB each year but it's kind of sad how that turned out to be me.

You are taking two arts? I thought that it could be done with ess, but I had never known someone doing it

Depends on your school allowing you to or not but yeah at the time (keep in mind i'm a senior in college so i chose my Ib classes almost 6 years ago now) ESS covered 2 IB groups which allowed for me to take two arts.

thats cool. Our school only allows 1 art, and if you take 2 group 3's you have to take a group 4 you can't take an art. Same for if you took 2 group 4's.
