πŸ’‘Expert's Take

No first-year credit for Chemistry SL, so there are no tuition savings to claim. Chemistry SL is not among the Standard Level entries in UBC's IB first-year credit table, which considers all Higher Level but only some Standard Level courses. At HL, a 6 earns CHEM_V 121 (4 credits); see our Chemistry HL page.
