[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/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] I'm not following your logic. Taking SOME AP courses is equivalent to taking SOME IB courses. They are both advanced coursework. Students in an IB school do NOT have to get the full IB diploma - they can take IB courses a la carte. If you feel that the advantage to taking a single AP class is college credit: 1. AP credit is not always accepted in college 2. IB credit credit can be given at college in the same way AP credit can 3. IB students can still take AP exams if they feel that the AP credit is more likely to be accepted at a school[/quote]
