Question: is ib harder than hsc?
Answer: Although the IB may seem like more work as it covers 2 years, think about how much work it would take in the HSC to receive the same ATAR – getting a 99.75 in the HSC is probably harder than if you were to try for a 43 (=99.75 ATAR) in the IB. However, they are both equally as difficult if you wish to do well!
