I refuse to stress myself out needlessly.

But seriously. IB is a great program, but it's just as flawed as anything else. And I made the same judgment call. I just stopped studying. I never once studied for IB English, I watched Evita instead of studying for IB History. I reviewed a little for math and chem, but not all that much, and I just did the practice tests I needed to for Spanish. I studied the least of ANY of my peers, and y'know what? I got the second highest score of any of them. Studying =/= learning. People need to realize that.

I'm glad I decided to do it, absolutely. My mom said she wanted me to conclude high school happily, not hunched over a textbook while sobbing with panic. That's just what I'm gonna do. I'm no expert on education, but I KNOW that stress and sleep deprivation negatively impact scores.
