[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But AP lets you be great at some things and only OK at other things, right? Whereas IB you have to be great at everything? [/quote] IB is essentially like taking two full years of AP only courses. A student who could handle AP in every subject would be able to handle the full IB diploma. However, just like with AP, the student can pick and choose some IB courses without going for the full diploma. [/quote] Some of the IB diploma candidates I met definitely could not handle a schedule of AP-only courses. Some IB courses are not particularly rigorous. [/quote] I have heard the exact opposite. People seem to want their kids to do AP instead of Ib because it's easier and less work. [/quote] This is what I still don't understand. Taking half AP courses, the benefit is obvious. But talking (only) half IB courses, what benefit? Seems like IB is all or nothing. [/quote]
