[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all. Do most IB kids in two-year classes take APs after the first year (junior year) or at the end of the second year (senior year)? Also, which AP Econ exam (macro or micro) lines up better with IB Econ SL?[/quote]

Depends on the course, but you can usually take the AP exam after the first year.  For some courses the spread of content is a little different so review the topics list.  IB econ is a general intro to both macro and micro. I don't know if the SL course (esp 1 year) would get you all the way through both AP macro and micro but it might with a little extra studying  The nice thing about doing the AP exams as an IB student is that if you don't score well you don't have to report and it doesn't look like you're hiding anything because you didn't take the class.  And you get the added advantage of studying/testing yourself which helps you the next year.  And if you do score well, you get the credit plus any admissions boost of exam scores.

Adding for IB Econ HL, definitely can take exams for both AP micro and AP macro.[/quote]
