[quote=Anonymous]I suggest you be strategic. Most Colleges will give credit for HL classes. So no need to take overlapping AP tests for Biology for example of your kid is already in IB Bio HL. Very few top colleges give credit for IB SL courses. My DD for example chose Spanish SL. Didn’t get college credit for it. If she had decided to go for the AP test I’m pretty sure she could have done it with minimal additional work. Figure out which colleges your kid is aiming for, learn what they give credit for, and then make a game plan to earn additional credit for a few more AP tests. Understand that depending on major, and on the college, as another pp said, your kid may need to retake a topic regardless of college credit earned. For example my DD did HL Economics. But her B school required her to take Micro and Macro at her college, she got only elective credit for the Econ HL class. [/quote]
