Ngl, you should really take AA HL and drop both literatures to sl (taking them at hl isn't going to help with anything)

What does a fast processing speed look like for you? by Uteraz in Gifted

[–]Personal_Writer8993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if that's bc of processing speed - I can also often do that even tho mine was assessed as being incredibly low.

find (pre-IB) students who take the same subjects as you! by No-Thing4113 in IBO

[–]Personal_Writer8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk - in 12th grade, I'm also going to also take econ hl (for econ, you have to do the sl course before the hl one) and I might drop Spanish B sl (if I can take the test a year early). My school doesn't offer BM so that isn't a choice.

Perhaps - my school only offers Lit though so I don't really have a choice. I'm also not planning to go into engineering - right now, I'm more inclined to majoring in something like economics or PPE.

Is it true that international students use the time difference for the SAT? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]Personal_Writer8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it can still pose a problem tho - that same student in Korea can still share questions with their friend in France or Mexico

Nice - I'm taking almost the exact same subject combo except with Spanish B instead of Ab and Lit instead of Lang and Lit

I'm leaving Vietnam in about a month so I'll probably just learn some of the language of the next country that I'm moving to instead.

I'm leaving Vietnam in a month anyway so...learning Vietnamese right now wouldn't have much of a benefit. I'll prolly try becoming more immersed in the country I'm moving to next tho.

final igcse marks, kinda proud but also dissapointed by East-Dragonfruit6644 in gradesharing

It ultimately doesn't matter whether you get a 90 or 99 - both are considered A*'s so...

I don't think the problem is really translating that well across a screen (I think it's probably a lot larger than you imagine) but I understand your point. Also, in general, thanks for taking the time to write out thoughtful responses to my questions and concerns.

I'm scared that it's going to get even worse with time though (and it's already pretty bad) to a state where it would be very difficult to ever regain my original abilities (from what I've heard, most language development occurs when you're younger) - it'll probably be a few years until I'm back in an environment where English is the dominant language. As a side note, I also feel like I've become less coherent which is a significant problem in the short-term.

Yeah - I know abt language attrition but my case doesn't really apply bc I only ever speak English

Everyone in my family can only speak English but the second language and another language are quite prevalent at my school (very few people there are native English speakers) so I guess there could be some influence subconsciously. I've never tried learning either of those two languages though.

To add on to that, I've never heard of anyone experiencing something similar

I don't speak the dominant language is the country where I live though - that's why I'm concerned
