[quote=Anonymous]AP and IB languages also differ, at least at the Higher Level. HL IB language exams are a good deal tougher than AP, one or two years past AP study. If your kid hasn't done immersion studies in the language abroad (preferably for an entire school year), grown up bilingual, or attended ES and MS language immersion programs which parents supplemented with au pairs, tutors or whatever, your kid can score a 5 on an AP language exam but not 6s or 7s (on a 1-7 scale) on IB HL. The emphasis on IB HL is on speaking and understanding, far beyond the proficiency level expected at AP.[/quote]
