[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want the IB Diploma, you have to play by IB's rules. Their rule is you must take the HL exams senior year for them to count towards the diploma.

The work arounds are to:
1) take Analysis in 10th/11th and test the end of 12th (requires diligence and self studying, but not impossible) 
2) take a gap year before starting year 2. Take AP Stats online or at another school if your school doesn't offer it, or calculus after analysis year 1.
3) Not worry about the IB credit/diploma and just take the courses you want without the testing nonsense. You'll get credit for multivar since it will be DE.[/quote]

My kid is not interested in the IB Diploma so we have no intention of playing by IB rules if he attends that HS. The ideal is for him to transfer to an AP school but if that is not allowed then we will happily take the test as a Junior when the material is fresh.

Kids from AP schools are accepted at European schools without any real fuss, the schools seem to be able to interpret grades and AP scores reasonably easy. the IB Diploma has nothing to do with acceptance at colleges in the US, it isn't conferred until well after graduation. The IB program should be a magnate school offering for kids who are interested in completing it instead of forced on kids at select schools who have no other options. [/quote]

“We will happily take the test as a Junior” may not be an option. Have hear many ask and fight to do that and be turned down- told only available as senior, period. What school are you looking at that think they will let student elect to take in 11th?[/quote]
