[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Robinson IB parent here. My child will start the diploma next year, but I would have no issue with Robinson switching to AP today.  My child would probably still end up with more than 10 IB/APs.  Just keep IB for the rising seniors. [/quote]

How would they get more than 10 IB classes if the diploma programs is only 6? Did they already take some AP classes freshman’s sophomore? I’d be curious which ones.[/quote]

The IB diploma is way more than 6 classes. 6 exams, maybe (each over 3 days) but it’s 2 math courses just to get to the one exam, and is the same in many of the subjects. If you are an IB candidate you are generally taking 6 IB classes junior year, and 6 more senior year.[/quote]

I see, you count IB HL as two classes, but it’s only one exam, so for example IB math HL is two years of classes even if it’s the same as AP calculus BC, which is only one year of classes. So three HLs is 6 classes, plus 3 SLs, that’s a total of 9. Do you count ToK as the 10th?

Can someone give an example of courses for a typical student in the IB diploma program?[/quote]
