[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the IBD exams aren't graded until after kids have applied to college, do they have any impact on college admissions?  For example, what is the value of getting an IB Diploma if you are already in college when it arrives?  For example, I know families who want their kids to get the IB Diploma so they can attend college in Europe.  Do kids have to wait a year before applying?  [/quote]

You can get college credit or test out of courses just like with AP scores.[/quote]

+1.  The IB diploma is more widely recognized in the world than just taking AP classes.

In addition, it’s a comprehensive and encompassing curriculum.  See link below.

AP courses are a hodge podge of courses and students can take whatever AP course they want.  There is no core AP course requirements and thus no AP “diploma”.  In addition, an IB curriculum has a strong emphasis on writing because many of the tests are essay based. [/quote]
