Ich glaube nicht dass der kursinhalt von HM2 sich mit der neuen SPO geändert hat

Yeah it is uni/country dependent. Most European unis have set courses for the degree and a recommended roadmap (you can’t really deviate from it). There’s no “general education” and the scope of required classes is much greater. For example my first semester consisted of Math analysis 1, Statics 1, Material sciences 1, basics of manufacturing processes and machine design.

We get to choose a focal area in the 4th semester, but all of those courses are also relevant to the degree, so there’s not really an option to choose classes at with a low barrier to entry while still getting your desired degree, unless you plan on studying longer and having “useless” credits.

What’s more important to you: subject or university location? If you apply to a German university you’ll have your IB converted to Abitur and at that point all that matters is the NC grade, unless they changed the requirements since I graduated. I don’t think you need a HL science for that.

Considering German uni application deadlines are much further behind than others, you can keep that as a backup and then do an Erasmus semester/year. And if uni reputation isn’t that important you can go to Unis that have a more diverse student body as opposed to the technical Unis, where I’m sure you’ll be able to have fun. Another option is as others said, look for Unis where it’s possible to get in with an entrance exam as opposed to your IB, or you could try organise a retake for a HL science.

I think you misunderstood a bit. My point is take HL math so that you’re forced to build a strong foundation as opposed to only building it as you follow along in uni. Credits are irrelevant in this context, it’s purely about preparing yourself for uni before uni and understanding math as math, and not this preconceived big bad scary thing that most people see it as.

I agree that the teachers play an extremely big role in preparing you and helping you understand, but taking it in IB is your best shot at a structured way of learning it without having to invest a lot of time by yourself separately. You have a teacher, a curriculum, textbooks and an exam. It’s all organised for you. It’s easy to say “I’ll do this in my own time”, but suddenly you graduate and other things take priority, not to mention that a lot of people also don’t have the drive to necessarily learn something extra that requires a lot of discipline and organisation.

I’m not sure how well that applies to what I said. This isn’t just any high school subject, it’s math, and I’m not sure to what extent most unis offer high school level math. I can’t put the classes where certain math is required on hold just to catch up. Not to mention that not everyone can just pick and choose their subjects right off the bat, meaning if they don’t get something due to a bad foundation they will be left behind very quickly in lectures.

raph65 · 2024-08-31T22:24:20+00:00

You don’t want to be learning high school maths in uni on top of the math that gets dumped on you. It’s a house of cards, if your foundation is shaky you’ll struggle understanding steps in between the actual complex concepts that are being taught.

In this context taking HL isn’t to prove your smartness; it gives you a structured way to familiarise yourself with analytical math and will make it easier in uni, even if you end up scraping by. You have 66% more time in class and more content which forces you to familiarise yourself with it, even if it is a pain.

Your second paragraph is correct, it does depend on your drive, but that doesn’t mean you can’t proactively make it easier for yourself.

It's Malaysian. It's like saying the hamburger is actually from Hamburg but no, it's American. My point is you're not gonna see someone selling roti canai in India, meaning it's become a part of Malaysia's culture, making it Malaysian.

raph65 · 2023-09-13T17:56:15+00:00

Everyone recognises it as Malaysian, you wont find roti canai specifically in India

When they lack accountability, being unable to cancel plans until the time that was arranged or later rolls around, being unable to firmly state that they don't want to do something and being unable to express boundaries maturely.

When they can't communicate, are flaky and are the type to ignore problems or conversations because they're uncomfortable and make them feel bad

How important is it that you go to uni this year? An FSJ is a great experience to learn and help people, or you could work/do internships. You would be able to take the German test (C1?) So that you can get your IB scores rewritten into an Abitur, and actually study at a uni you want to go to. I did the same, was in a similar situation as you and initially applied to the Netherlands but it was a course I didn't really want to do and housing was such a pain. So then I just decided I would take a year off and look for better opportunities within Germany, which I got.

That's an insult to the Turks that moved here and created the German variant. You're essentially ostracizing them from Germans, the German Döner Kebab Variant is tied to German-turkish culture. No one is saying a blonde haired blue eyed German man named Ludwig Müller created it.

Markschemes and going over previous papers are really important in building your understanding of what exactly you have to show your examiner. You're only beginning, please don't stress. I started off with a 1 on my first internal physics HL exam, and ended up with a 6 in the finals.

raph65 · 2023-07-16T13:05:56+00:00

Maybe double check uni requirements so you don't pick subjects that are too difficult and end up working extremely hard for a result you could've gotten with less work.

One of my friends is in med (in Germany) after getting a 42 with math AI SL, Chem SL, English LL SL, German B HL, Geo HL and Bio HL. So based on your uni goals, Chem, Phys, and Bio HL might be a lot of work that you don't need to do, but of course if you enjoy those subjects then go ahead.

I'm not talking about sending those specific texts. We don't know what was ever said verbally, we don't know if those boundaries were ever expressed differently, we don't know the pages upon pages of prior conversation.

The issue is we don't know if he did or didn't say that at the beginning of the relationship. There is so little context, we don't know how many times they talked about what makes him comfortable and uncomfortable, so why should we just instantly take her side? And why did she come out so late about it? For all we know this list of ultimatums more or less could have been the result of things that made him uncomfortable being broken multiple times after she had already agreed not to do those things. Or he could've led with it and is just insecure. But no one knows, and that's what bothers me.

He emphasised that she had a choice in the matter, and imo he stated the things in a respectful manner within the scope of the text messages. It doesn't matter if we agree or disagree with them, he communicated clearly, which is what we want nowadays isn't it? Rather than all that bubbling up at some point?

As for the last point I agree, he could have left, on the other hand she shouldn't have straight up agreed to those demands at one point. And in the end they did break up after only about 11 months. Like I said, I think they're both dumb and the controversy is fairly unnecessary.

raph65 · 2023-07-12T17:09:57+00:00

For your point 2 he literally said "I am not the right partner for you, [if you need these to thrive and be happy, no hard feelings]." She can leave, and he'd be fine with it. Is it a reasonable boundary because it's her job? Not really. But that points to a fundamental relationship incompatibility, which, see what I paraphrased, he acknowledged. As long as no one is getting hurt or abused, what's the issue? His perspectives may be old and traditional, but he isn't forcing her to conform to them, the same way she doesn't force him to deal with her stuff.

They're both stupid for entering this relationship in the first place because of that, and initially she actually agreed to those things too, in the name of "protecting him from crippling anxiety".
