[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the difference between IB and AP[/quote] In some cases there isn’t much if any difference. I think BCC codes upper level foreign language classes as both AP and IB. In other cases, in theory IB is more focused on depth and analysis and less focused on breadth and facts. The IB diploma program also has a heavier emphasis on writing and a class called “theory of knowledge”. [/quote] More straightforward (not easier) to get a 5 on AP than a 7 on an IB (often needed for college credit). AP test just requires good scores on a test. IB requires effort through the year and then a test. My high school offered both. I did most AP since I could check out of class mentally until a month before the test. Our kid will have to make their choice soon, curious what they'll pick.[/quote]
