[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true that kids interested in science do better with APs than going the full IB route? I note that at B-CC, they offer a two-year IB physics class, and it seems like the AP class is only one year. It would seem that the IB class would be more rigorous given that you are together for 2 years. [/quote] I don't know about BCC, but at RMIB they also have HL Math Analysis. DC is taking MVC and HL Math, and yes, HL physics which is 2 yrs. Also, IB students can take AP classes. BC calc is an AP class, which DC took. [/quote] That is also true at B-CC - those who do honors precalc in 10th do AP Calc BC in 11th and HL Math in 12th. So it does seem like it can be rigorous in math and sciences -- though it also seems like it doesn't have to be for those who are more humanities-oriented. There are definitely lower-level math and science offerings in the B-CC IB program.[/quote]
