<p>I'm a Cal 2013er in L&S. I'm currently trying to get a IB diploma in high school. </p>
<p>It's said on the UC website that students who complete the IB diploma with 30+ will get 20 units. Is that true? </p>
<p>And how can the units be used? Can I use the units toward freshman classes in L&S?</p>
<p>You get twenty empty units.</p>
<p>These empty level pushes your TeleBEARS up within your non-AP class level.</p>
<p>Certain HL tests can clear certain courses for you. Here are the ones I know of the top of my head.
A 5/+ on IB English A1/A2 HL will get you out of F&C
A 5/+ on IB Biology HL will get you of Bio 1A/L and 1B (though AP/IB’ing out of Bio 1 is highly inadvisable if you are biology major and/or prehealth)</p>
<p>what do you mean by empty units? How does those work?</p>
<p>they work just like the empty units you get for AP tests.</p>
<p>They push your TeleBEARS appointment up within your class level</p>
<p>I am also Full IB so are you saying it only helps when we pick classes, bt does not help to give us credit? I’m hoping for at least a 5 on my HL’s which is what you need to average for 30+ anyway</p>

Here is what IBHL assessments where you score 5/+ get you</p>
<p>IB English A1 HL (apparently A2 doesn’t count, that must suck for some internationals) should be your top priority as that test gets you out of R&C.</p>
