Hey there! i wanted to know, can you take an IB exam without having taken the full course? I'm kind of interested in testing myself in a subject, but my school doesn't offer the course. Is it even possible to self-study for something like that?
Hello! It's possible to take an IB exam without completing the full IB course, but there are some things to consider. First, you'll need to find an IB World School that offers the subject you're interested in and is willing to let you sit the exam at their location. Some schools may allow it, while others may not.
Self-studying for an IB exam can be challenging, but it's not impossible. You'll need to get a hold of the subject's syllabus and materials (such as textbooks), and create a plan to work through the necessary topics. Past papers and mark schemes can help you familiarize yourself with the exam format and expectation.
Best of luck with your self-study adventure!
