In addition to your six subjects you will also take Theory of knowledge and CAS, and you will be responsible for writing the Extended Essay, which is an independent research paper of 4000 words, written over a period of several months.
When choosing your subjects you should think first about what you want to do as a career, then research that career to find out what you need to study at university to be qualified in a particular field. If you want to be a doctor, for example, then you will need to study medicine. In order to be accepted into most medical programmes you will need to take chemistry and biology at higher level..
Most universities will specify what IB students should take in order to get into particular programmes.
