[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is now at College and claims she is much better prepared having done the IB than friends who just did the AP, FWIW.[/quote] Yes, this is true. My own kid said the same, and I've know a few adults who have said this, also. I think it's because IB requires so much critical reasoning and analytical writing that it really forces the student to be organized, and churn out long papers quickly. That would obviously help in college. I also find that a lot of the IBD students are good speakers in part because IBD assessments has an oral component. Many go into debate. My own kid did, and they are a STEM major. [/quote]
