Even at IBDP level, CIS students are always highly involved in many activities (music, sports, community service, debate, leadership positions in school clubs). So it never appears to me that they only study, study, study.
At senior MYP levels (year 10-11), most girls study very hard, work until very late every night, but are still involved in many activities, because they are not viewed as 'good students" if they only know how to study. They don't want to be perceived as nerds. Boys are still playing hard, completing minimum homework and essays, trying to maintain a satisfactory grade. Every student tries to excel in at least one extra-curricular activity, otherwise their US personal statement will not be impressive.
At IBDP, everyone studies very hard, but still needs to involve in a substantial amount of community service, runs for captains of school clubs, tries founding a new club/association, winning in debates, do anything that add weight to the "activitiy resume". All of them become superman and superwoman in these 2 years. Pressure level is very high indeed, but mostly from peers themselves. They become scared when knowing other students get substantial improvement in grades.
Yes, there are quite some shifting of subjects from HL to SL during the 1st year of IBDP, in order to achieve good grades. A 6 is not satisfactory, unless a student is particularly weak in that subject. Many students chooes 4 HL at the beginning of DP, so they have room to shift 1 from HL to SL. As some UK/HK university degrees require certain subjects at HL, the students know what they are doing and the consequences when deciding a shifting from HL to SL.
