IB (International Baccalaureate) OR A Levels?

Question

Should I pick IB instead of A Level? My teacher says that if we do pick the IB then we will study 6 subjects. I dont understand the course that much so I would appreciate it if someone could explain it. Also if we do pick the IB in Year 11 and 12 do we not do A Levels at all?

Please Help.....

Thank You

If you are planning to go to university in the UK, A Levels would be the choice. If you are planning to go to university abroad, it makes more sense to pick the IB programme.

From what I've seen British universities have no preference - both IB and A Levels are good enough. But for foreign schools, IB has a better recognition.
