[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did full IB. Now at UVA. Classes seemed manageable until the spring of senior year. Then it got stressful, which was unfortunately timed in the context of college admissions all in. By the end of the year, taking 15+ IB exams wasn’t exactly fun. No basis of comparison to say whether the classes and whole environment were more beneficial to my kid. I think time will tell on that.[/quote]

That's BS. No kid takes 15 IB exams end of senior year. Try again fool[/quote]

Could you explain a little bit more about these exams?  Are they taking on 16 separate days?  How long is each exam?  What type of format?[/quote]
