I would merge extended essay and theory of knowledge due to me assuming there would be little traffic until ATARnotes developed the notion that IB is up there with VCE and HSC in terms of traffic

The current layout looks good, thanks for following up on this so quickly!

A few pieces of info: EE/ToK/CAS aren't really the three most crucial aspects of the diploma, the IB website seems a bit misleading about this. Together ToK and the EE provide three possible "bonus" points out of the the maxumum total of 45. (http://www.amyscott.com/2010%20onward%20Diploma%20points%20Matrix%20tok.pdf.) CAS is a hurdle requirement which needs to be passed for the diploma to be awarded, but I don't know anyone who has failed. The most important component of the diploma is really the six subjects you must complete, of which a minimum of three must be taken at HL. Each is graded out of 7, so they provide the remaining 42 possible points. With the exception of maths, I don't think it's necessary to separate each subject into HL and SL subforums, because HL is usually just additional content rather than a different syllabus. I do think it would be worth keeping ToK and the EE in separate sections given that they're entirely separate from each other.

(Sorry if any/all of this is obvious, but based on the above posts I wasn't sure that it was understood.)

EDIT: Also, I suggest that you add an IB header to the splash page.

Okay, so I kept the categories but moved the subject groups higher. Are the headings themselves okay (i.e. "diploma curriculum core" and "curriculum")?

What do you mean by the splash page o.O

Yeah that. (I think "splash page" is jargon for the page you first reach when you enter a website if that page isn't the home page.)

Maybe have "core requirements" instead of "diploma curriculum core"? It's probably not too important though, I think the current headings are easy enough to follow.
