[quote=Anonymous]Come on, IB is only as rigorous as the preparation of students in a particular IB program. Kids can scrape by in IB Diploma programs fed by IB Middle Years programs without great rigor, barely clearing the 24-point Diploma pass totals bar on a 24-45 point scale senior year in HS. That's what happens at Banneker and Eastern. I don't expect to see average pass point totals above the 20s at DCI for a decade. In IBD programs, kids must pass 3 or 4 subject tests at the Standard Level (equivalent to AP), and 3 at the Higher Level (equivalent to AP if a student scrapes by, a year or two past AP if they score high). I wouldn't say that IB studies are more rigorous than AP. It all depends on how many APs a student is taking, and which ones - BC Calculus and Physics C anyone? [/quote]
