[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are way off. In your example, you would need:

IB English HL: AP Lit and AP Lang 
IB History SL: AP History 
IB Bio HL (2 years after honors Bio, so AP Bio and Post AP Bio) 
IB Math SL:I year of post pre-Calc math (part AP Calc AB part AP stats). Math Studies not offered at most HSs 
IB psych HL (2 years, so AP Psych plus Post AP psych) BUT-- Most FCPS HSs do not offer AP psych HL. You need a different HL class. Most kids do Math HL, which is Calc BC. 
IB French: equivalent of AP French. You need a minimum of 4 years of language for all language SL except Latin. 5 years recommended. [/quote]

And, many AP kids I know take:
AP Lit and Language
AP History-one at a minimum-most take US -some also take European
AP Science of some type--might be something besides Bio, might be physics or chemistry  I think the Biology AP is two classes.--my DD took Physics.
AP Calculus (some take the higher level AP which is BC) some also take higher level than that
AP Psych or some other AP class. You are correct about not having higher level Psych, but there are other classes that are offered: AP Art History, for example.
AP US Government (some take AP comparative government which is two AP tests)  What kind of government do IB kids take?
AP Foreign Language

I don't think you realize just how much is available in AP classes.  DD started college as an academic sophomore with the class listed above.

Far more flexibility is available in AP.  There is also Economics, Statistics, and more.

Very true.  It helps explain why FCPS has stopped trying to inflict IB on additional high schools and the AP schools aren't asking for it.   [/quote]
