• Answer:

  You don't actually have to take higher maths for medicine. You should probably write down a list of colleges which you would apply too and see their requirements, every university has different requirements as well as how many IB points you should have at the end of your tests. For medicine I would say your options are fairly good, because you have chemistry, biology and maths. If you are really dedicated you should try doing chemistry and biology higher, I am doing bio higher and it is easier than chemistry higher, also it covers the chemistry basics about life in biology too. If you were to be doing higher chem and bio then you should do economics standard. My school only allows most students to be doing 3 highers, but if you are previously qualified you can do 4 highers.
