A (usually) 2 year diploma programme of education infinately better and better established than A Levels.
Consists of 6 chosen topics from groups, along with the compulsory 150+ hours of CAS (Creativity, Action, Service), 4000 word Extended Essay and a Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation.
Each topic is marked from 1 - 7, with an extra 3 points being added for performance in CAS, TOK and EE, with a total of 45 points achievable.
Considered Hellish and extremely difficult for some, others (myself included) really appreciate it. It Challenges you, and can either encourage you to become really organised or really lazy. May lead to extensive Procrastination (world of warcraft in extreme cases) and lack of a social life. Or alcohol abuse, depending on how you cope with stress.
Good points are that it is an internationally recognised qualification, and is equivalent to up to 7 'A' Grades at A level, and some higher level subjects (Sciences and Maths for example) are considered so advanced, that certain University's view them as almost degree level.
Another good point is that it can give you the opportunity to meet people from all over the world (especially at international schools) and can definately broaden your horizons. And it teaches you bullshit oh so effectively.
Lying becomes a way of life, sleeping becomes a luxury, Relentless and Pro Plus become your Gods, and eating just isn't necessary.

Someone who is so smart i.e. a nerd, that they could single handedly save all dumb peple from a chat life.
Because let's face it, Where would the world be without nerds? Nowhere, that's where. Without nerds, we'd still be lighting our rooms with candles, having leeches stuck to us to cure disease, and taking dumps out of our windows. Sure, we may be unfit for female consumption(and vice versa), we may spend hours arguing if Star Wars is better than Star Trek, and we may have the social skills of a chimpanzee, but it's high time that nerds were recognized as the true intellectual badasses they are!
