IB is worth it depending on where you wish to go. The total score for me was out of 46, I was part of the new exams for this year. Took Math HL, Physics HL, English HL, Dutch HL, PCS SL, Psychology SL. Got a 7 on all of them, except for math and physics, which were a 5 and 6, respectively.
The diploma is harder than most standard programs (AP/GCSE), and is more on level with university level material in some courses and A-levels in others. It's certainly worth it.
I am currently going to start my second semester, taking Math HL, English HL, Literature HL, Business Studies HL,Programming NL (the medium level) and physics ML (plus TOK, extended essay course, and other fillers), I really wanted to have physics HL but there are no teachers qualified to give the course, the only one lived in a different state and was currently incapacitated. I have heard from my teachers that high lvl physics is too advanced, the popular opinion is that normal physics is equal to HL Math in terms of difficulty, and that HL physics is much harder. What is your opinion on that?
(the max score is 46, being 43 points from exams and 3 from the TOK and the extended essay)
