[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Year two of the IB HL AA course is a survey course of different college level math topics. They are not really "post-Calculus" topics bc the first year of the IB sequence is more like Pre-Calculus rather than Calculus. That's one of the reasons our school offers the AP Calc BC course between the first and second year of the IB sequence. (Another reason is that IB is very rigid and you cannot take the IB exam until senior year, even if you finish the IB sequence junior year...so they put Calc BC in between so the second year of IB math is senior year for students who start IB math in 10th grade, which is most students who take Algebra in 7th).[/quote] Wait. So if year 1 of HL is precalculus and year 2 is not really calculus either, then it seems like IB is really not a good choice for an American STEM student (unless their high school has hacked the IB curriculum by inserting AP Calculus into the sequence, as many schools apparently do).
