[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know of anyone who thinks IB is half as rigorous as AP. Most people think they are the similar or if anything that IB is more rigorous. [/quote] They are similar, IB Math AA HL is comparable to AP calculus BC, but the IB class takes two years, while the AP only one and arguably goes in more depth. It varies from course to course, but typically AP gets more credit. For the example above at UMD, IB math gets credit for Math 140 (Calculus 1) and Stat 100, while AP Calculus BC gets credit for Math 140 and 141 (Calculus 1 and Calculus 2).[/quote] "AP only one and arguably goes in more depth." -- no, it doesn't. AP is breadth, not depth. IB is depth. I have kids who went through both.[/quote]
