[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your question doesn’t make much sense or you need to be more specific about the coursework the student is taking. For magnet IB, you can start Algebra 1 in 7th grade, and presumably end up taking some version of Calculus in 11th, but the HL Math exam will be taken in 12th grade and that will cover IB HL material which is a combination of calculus, statistics, precalculus, algebra and geometry. Some schools offer multivariable in 12th, but you’d still take the HL math exam for the diploma.

[b]For everyone taking algebra in 7th, it makes little sense to follow the IB path because inevitably you’d have to repeat material for the sake of the IBDP exam. A combination of AP and DE is more flexible and appropriate for that student. For math, the IB program is quite pitiful anyways so even without the repetition it’s a subpar option. Ditto for sciences.[/b]

I suppose IB is a great preparation for global citizenship or some other inane blurb you hear during school presentations to parents, but I imagine there aren’t that many people falling for those cheap tricks.[/quote]

AP does make more sense, but not every high school offers AP [/quote]
