[quote=Anonymous]I had one kid who did the full IB diploma and another one who is just taking mostly IB courses (but not going for the diploma which requires the extended essay and Theory of Knowledge). Kid #2 is not quite as organized so knew the extra work might be too much if they were to go for the diploma. Whether or not you do the full diploma, you still take the IB exams and if you achieve certain scores, you still can qualify for credit in college. By the time my oldest got his scores and found out he actually earned the diploma, it was July and it didn't really matter since he was already accepted to college. Maybe it looks a little better on the transcript if the kid is actually attempting the IB diploma, but not sure if that outweighs the pressure, especially if the kid is prone to stress or is not committed to the program.[/quote]
