[quote=Anonymous][quote] Both of my friend's daughters, who did IB diplomas in FCPS, say they feel they are better prepared for college research and writing than their college friends who did AP, and are less stressed by their many writing assignments than their peers who did AP (or who didn't do either AP or IB). Did these girls leave high school with a bunch of college credits so they could skip lots of required courses? Not really. Did they leave high school enthusiastic and confident about learning and unafraid of lengthy assignments? Yes. They were well aware in HS that they would get fewer credits for IB but didn't care, and now that they're in college they are fine with what they say IB gave them. [/quote] Good for them. DD's roommate felt differently--and, for the record, DD did great as an English major in a prestigious college. I think she made better grades than her roommate. [/quote]
