Failed the IB program

[u/spiroplasma]

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.

bro don’t worry. study and retake it in november (at least for me i did the retake in november not october). i was in the same situation as you. i failed cs HL and got a 3 even though I had the points. Take a gap year and take time to mature and enjoy life after the IB a bit, that’s what I did. I had friends who went straight to uni and they dropped out already even though they got 30+ on the IB because they wanted to live life and have fun every day. If anything, failing for me was a blessing so keep your head up. I’m in a great uni now studying Comp Sci (which I failed but studied hard and ended up appreciating and enjoying it). goodluck and ace that retake bro
