Switching levels??

anyone getting worried or think they might drop down to pass between now and the day of the exam?!:eek:

If you plan on make sure you practice pass papers and know the layouts, as Higher and Ordinary can differ.;)

ya french is a bit diff alright but not too much... physics maybe... i wish i studied before this week!

Switching on the day isn't always a good idea because if you have been studying HL for two years the OL paper might be confusing etc.

And also, remember that an A1 in pass = C3 in honours = 60 points

An A1 in pass is not easy to get, whereas a c3 in honours might be much more achieveable

Remember, to get an A1 in pass you need to know at least 90% of everything you learn well. To get a C3 in honours, you need to know at least 55% of everything (although the material is more difficult).

The only difference in Physics is you get the formulas need at the end of each page, I dropped down to Ordinary about 2 weeks ago.

Well as said above, some subjects differ between HL and OL. That said, last year when I was doing the Leaving, I failed HL Physics in my mocks and stuck at it until the day of the exam. On the day I decided to drop to OL and got an A2. So some subjects, if you genuinely are worried its worth having a think about it.

Best of luck to you all too.
