“I usually have one per class per week, sometimes more,” Rishabh Kothari said. “That’s what makes [my stress level] a 7.”

From a student’s perspective harder classes are very stressful just ask Savannah Norush. Her normal stress level out of 10 on a normal night is a staggering 8.5. She has 4-5 tests, quizzes, or projects every single week in school. After asking if these impacted stress she gave a very real answer.

“Hell yeah it does!” Norush said.

“If he was taking normal classes he would be even more stressed because he would be bored, he has figured it out for time management” she said.

“Not personally,” she said. “In the kids who have 4+ IB classes, more stress is noticed especially now with projects and exams coming up. Kids taking 4+ IB/AP classes are gods because most of them are athletes or have part time jobs.”
