  1. International Baccalaureate2010-2011 Registration For rising seniors

  2. “Senior year is not easier in a sense that you have less work but rather that you have the experience of the IB work-load and (hopefully) beneficial work habits that you developed during Junior year.  If you take an AP class as an elective, make you sure you are genuinely interested in the content; college applications, the EE, TOK, and other assignments will consume more time than you would think.”

  7. Earning the “IB Diploma” • IB Exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 7 • Scores of 4 to 7 are considered passing • Add scores together to arrive at points total • 24 points= IB Diploma

  8. “Choose a topic you are extremely interested in because this will be your life's work for the next 5 months, believe me you do not want to hate what you are doing and do a bad job.  Oh, and don't procrastinate, it never works out well and the end of your summer is super stressful when it should be pretty chill.  Good luck guys!”

  11. “Utilize your EE advisor, they are there to help you organize the bigger picture and maximize your time efficiency.  A HUGE help is to look at the UCF library book listings online before you ever go to the library.  Write down the location of the books in the library and use it as a jumping off point as other books related to your topic will be located nearby. (the library is much bigger than you think)”
