[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IB world history HL was more in-depth reading and writing than AP courses. Less memorizing although there is that, but more analysis and depth to writing requirements. Not teaching to the test so much. My kid loved it.[/quote]

Both IB History and English are a lot more like the courses they’ll experience in college than their AP counterparts are.

And the writing for AP classes is much more circumscribed: IB teaches you how to write research papers for several different academic disciplines (using each field’s standard style guide), while AP teaches you to write an essay for an AP exam. [/quote]

Your assertions are bizarre considering AP classes, including the writing intensive ones in humanities are designed to be substitutes for college classes.

AP teaches you how to write an essay for the AP exam? Sorry, but you don’t seem to have the slightest clue about the curriculum in the AP class or what’s being tested on the exam.[/quote]
dp.. I  have two kids. One went through RMIB, and the other didn't but took AP English.  Very big difference in writing assignments, and depth of analysis.[/quote]
