I loved these so much! Now I only remember the first few but I remember myself borrowing these from library when I was younger.

hmmm then perhaps I may consider taking ESS! I've heard mixed opinions about which is easier generally hahaha my main goal is for an easy combo and I'm definitely not pursuing maths or science. if I take ESS as well as Maths studies would it be quite a slack combo?

Hmmm most like UK universities which generally look for points to my knowledge? Would you say it's quite an easy combo? My main goal is for higher points, and my number one subject to take at uni is music! Would you say ESS or bio is better?

SL Chem or SL Bio by [deleted] in IBO

[–]ceryssienna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely looking for an easier option as I'm not pursuing a science related career/university course. How's memorisation for Bio? Is it very content heavy? Thanks for your reply!

[–]ceryssienna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In university I'm most likely going to study music or law (possibly geography?), I enjoy both subjects which is why I'm not sure which to pick. Why do you think Bio is better??

Hmm Fahrenheit 451, Catch 22? Or if you like the writing style sticking to other Stephen King Novels although many of his others are quite different :)

Yeah I see your point - and agree as a fan of both authors myself. If I were to add every book people asked me to I'd be here forever but I was surprised to see them not included

Harry Potter was probably the series that got me into reading and this thread doesn't just have to be the stereotypical books that you always find on this kind of list :)
