AP, IB or other?

<p>My school only offers IB, which I prefer since it does seem like a harder course, but it's much more cohesive as a whole program. By this I mean I mean some of the classes connect and intertwine with the lessons. In addition, there aren't as many types of classes, for instance you have AP calculas A, AP calculus B, and all these other things I can't follow (maybe partly since I don't know the AP system). 3 IB math courses (pre-calc, IB math, and Math studies) 3 IB science courses (2 year Bio, 2 year physics, 1 year chemistry), a 2 year english course, and a 2 year history course. Then the various elective-IB courses. Although I am considering taking an AP pre-calc online course.</p>

<p>AB=Calculus I BC=Calculus II
BC is typically equal to or better than IB Further math</p>

<p>AP Physics is considered superior to IB Physics because IB physics isn't calculus-based.</p>

There's no such thing is AP Pre-cal. There is, however, Pre-AP Pre-cal in some places.</p>

<p>It depends on your school.</p>

<p>I'm IB.</p>

<p>Basically at my school, AP is for slackers.</p>

<p>AP:5
Advanced:5</p>

<p>AP=psych, english lit, english lang, art, and stats
Advanced=ethics, english 10, english 11, algebra II/trig, and composition,
My school doesn't have IB because our AP classes are IB courses that make us take the AP exams. It's completely ridiculous.</p>

<p>galestorm, for the most part, that's how it is at my school too.</p>

<p>Also, some of our classes are combined AP and IB because there simply aren't enough students for there to be two separate classes. For instance, psychology, chemistry and geography. Also, there is no IB Math HL class; those students just take AP Calculus BC + AP Statistics. Many IB students also take corresponding AP test because many colleges don't give SL credit.</p>
