Standard and Higher Level components compared
Essentially, IA has the exact same weight, the Option in HL is almost 50% more important than in SL but Topic 10 is more important in SL than HL. All other topics contribute almost equally to a SL and HL grade.

The dark blue bars are where your final IB grade will be from: 1. Your IA is the single most important part of your IB HL, more important than even the Option. Imagine how much time in class, at home and in revision you have or will give
to topics 9, 10 and 11. Your IA, on average, will be worth more to your final grade than all those combined.2. The Option is the most important topic for your IB grade compared to the everything else 3. Topic 10, Organic Chemistry, is by far the most important topic for papers 1 and 2.
