*[[Creativity, activity, service]] (CAS). CAS aims to provide students with opportunities for personal growth, self-reflection, intellectual, physical and creative challenges, and awareness of themselves as responsible members of their communities<ref name="CASguide">Creativity, action, service Guide for students graduating in 2010 and thereafter, Published March 2008 International Baccalaureate</ref> through participation in social or community work (service), athletics or other physical activities (activity), and creative activities (creativity). The guideline for the minimum amount of CAS activity over the two-year programme is approximately 3–4 hours per week, though "hour counting" is not encouraged. Previously, there was a requirement that 150 CAS hours be completed, but this was abolished in 2010. However, some schools still require these hours.<ref name="CASguide" />
Students who pursue the IB diploma must take six subjects: one each from Groups 1–5,<ref name="Schools p. 9"/> and either one from Group 6 or a permitted substitute from one of the other groups, as described below.<ref name="Schools p. 11">[[#refSchoolGuideDP2002|Schools' Guide to IBDP]], p. 11.</ref> Three or four subjects must be taken at Higher level (HL) and the rest at Standard level (SL).<ref name="Schools p. 9"/> The IB recommends a minimum of 240 hours of instructional time for HL courses and 150 hours for SL courses.<ref name="Schools p. 9"/>
