Substituting Courses From Other Subject Groups
Group 6 subjects are considered electives, thus an IB Diploma candidate may substitute a variety of courses from other subject groups in lieu of taking a Group 6 course. This would result in a student studying an extra language, taking an extra social science or experimental science course, or taking Computer Science or Further Mathematics SL (provided that student is already taking Mathematics HL). The Group 3 Information in a Global Society (ITGS) course or the Group 5 Computer Science would be taken only as sixth subjects, as they do not satisfy the IB Diploma requirements for their respective subject groups.

Famous quotes containing the words substituting, courses, subject and/or groups:
“I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.”
—Edmund H. North (1911–1990)
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
