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.

Get the international terrorism mug.kick-ass CD by Green day that features most of their greatest hits from 1994-2001, such as Basket case, Welcome to paradise, time of your life and Warning. Sadly, the released songs from Shenanigans and American idiot can't be on there coz they weren't even written when this album came out. It also features three new songs and has a homosexual-ish album cover, but I don't give a shit.
Person: Oi, which green day album should I buy with my pocket money? Coz I like Nimrod but Dookie has more famous songs.
Moi: Buy the international superhits album, it has their best songs
