<p>I am in an IB school and I have frequent altercations with friends in the Cambridge program about which program/tract is more difficult? prestigious?</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>bumpp- any ideas??</p>
<p>I’ve never even heard of the Cambridge Program…</p>
<p>Is Cambridge the same as A levels?</p>
<p>If so, I would rather do IB. Less specialized.</p>

<p>Speaking as a Cambridge student, IB is definitely more prestigious.</p>
<p>@Millancad the Cambridge program is actually equivalent to the O-levels. 
I dislike how my school makes the program seem super-special, when in reality it really isn’t a big deal at all.</p>
<p>Thanks guys :)</p>
<p>Lol, Miami.</p>
<p>Depends how your school does it … if they only offer IGCSE (equivalent of O-levels), then go for IB … if they over AS and A-Levels, then go for the ‘Cambridge’ Program (I really hate that designation, alongside ‘AICE’ … no one ever knows what we’re talking about until we say ‘A-Levels’). A-Levels give you more flexibility than IB. I don’t know about IB HL Chemistry, but A-Level Chemistry is one damn interesting courseload as it covers more than AP Chemistry (in terms of Organic and Experimental Chemistry). </p>
<p>I guess you’re going to Ferguson since you’re between IB and ‘AICE/Cambridge’, so in this case, I’d say go the third way with APs.</p>
<p>IB, AICE, APs, Dual Enrollment, CLEP, Early Admissions, Honors…so many different options</p>
<p>Yes, but if you pursue AICE classes at the A level, then they’re pretty much the toughest post-secondary curricula (with the exception of the language classes)</p>
<p>A-Levels are better than IB which is better than O-Levels (IGCSE).<br>

<p>My school does A and AS Level aice classes so i think that would be better, talk to the coordinators of this program.</p>
