    Congratulations, Lorenzo. That is a summa opus worthy of respect. Education hasn't gotten any easier over the years, and I respect your tenacity at sticking to it. You should be quite proud of your accomplishment. Good luck at Uni!

    And about the IB, I'd have to say it's not actually that difficult to do well in. My school offers it and it is exactly the same as the NSW HSC. I compare with friends and we have the same topics and workloads, except they have the Extended Essay and TOK.



    Oh yeah, they all whinge about the English topics and TOK, so be wary of them.

    Slow response, but a mate of mine finished last year got 42 out of 45 and put in a solid effort and time.
    Another didn't and still managed to get 38, ().

    I just finished my GCSEs as well. Along with 3 AS levels in English Language, Music and Maths. What did you people take?
