[quote=Anonymous]I like the fact that the College Board acknowledges students who've done well on AP exams through the various AP Scholar Awards, and has added courses like AP Research and AP Seminar that are research and writing-intensive. IB seems far more prescriptive (i.e., here are the hoops you need to jump through to get an IB diploma). In other words, AP places more faith in the ability of students to select appropriate courses. IB is more like a merit badge for doing what the IBO decided makes the IBO happy. [/quote]
