The program can be extremely beneficial to students due to the fact that IB is a worldwide method of education that is accepted by virtually all high-end universities in a vast number of countries. Unlike taking courses that are recognized as being legitimately difficult in the United States alone, IB offers a standard academic pathway that is known for being a rigorous one, but also a path that often leads to a student\u2019s success regardless of both which university one attends and which country that university happens to reside in.<\/p>\n<p>The IB program is also unique in that preparing students for the outside world is a top priority. IB diploma candidates must take four or more years of a foreign language as part of their IB schedule on top of specially designated classes that are pieced together to form the path to getting their revered IB diploma.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Patricia Farr\u00e9 received her IB Diploma last week, having completed all the requirements needed to earn the certificate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took a total of 12 test sessions my senior year for five different subjects, and all of them were required for my IB diploma,\u201d Farr\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n<p>Farr\u00e9 looks back on her memories of the IB program with satisfaction, though it took some sacrifice on her part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMissing a total of 48 hours of school my senior year due to testing and having to keep up with schoolwork was a pain, and pretty memorable,\u201d Farr\u00e9 said. \u201dI wouldn\u2019t regret doing the IB diploma though; it proves that you went the extra mile and somewhat prepares you for more rigorous college courses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With extensive experience concerning the process and the tests themselves, Farr\u00e9 offers a few nuggets of advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t know much about a certain topic or unit, skip it and focus on the ones that you have previous knowledge on,\u201d Farr\u00e9 recommended. \u201cAlso, make sure you don\u2019t procrastinate on schoolwork if you are missing days for testing, it makes a difference in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with the advice, Farr\u00e9 added that she had some small regrets as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey say that you shouldn\u2019t have to because you learn the material in your classes, but some extra review would\u2019ve helped just to make sure that I knew everything,\u201d Farr\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n<p>Farr\u00e9\u2019s hard work with IB will also pay off in the fall, as she will attend Boston University for the 2016-2017 school year. Though the path to achievement may be tedious and time-consuming, the effort may be well worth the benefits reaped upon completion of IB, whether it be for simply one class or the entire diploma.<\/p>\n<p>By: Ben Zeitler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the many things that makes DHS stand out is the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in place at the school.
