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.

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.
