[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the schools in FCPS with the highest math SAT scores and National Merit semifinalists - all AP schools.[/quote] This is all about how FCPS chose to implement IB-- by putting it in the lowest performing, lowest SES schools, and not about the merits or difficulty of IB vs AP math. AP math doesn't lead to high math SAT/NMSF. High SES schools would do better on these measures whether they were AP or IB. Besides, neither SAT nor PSAT math scores are based on AP or IB level math. It's not like there is Calculus or even pre- Calc on the SAT, FFS. I don't have a strong AP vs IB preference, but come on. [/quote]
