[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The faculty of a moderately selective local university recommended prospective economics majors -- including those with a 5 on the exam -- retake the full year Principles of Economics, because they found students coming straight out of AP to have a poor grasp of the material. This was even before the College Board started making APs much easier to pass. Not sure about their opinions of IB. I do see the claim online that IB economics is significantly more in-depth.[/quote] Pretty much all departments want kids who are majoring in their subject to re-take basic courses at their university.[/quote] In a lot of cases, that's wise. I was an Econ major. I don't think people should take duplicative econ classes in high school. I understand what is covered in Intro and Intermediate Econ. Try to do something new. New history would be more valuable than a semi-overlapping Econ. A new science would look more rigorous.[/quote]
