i am a rising junior in the IB diploma program. I now know that there are IB SL classes and HL classes, i was wondering if the points awarded to these two types of classes are the same even though HL is harder? Also i hear that IB SL classes are easier than AP classes but IB HL classes are harder, is this true? How does AP compare to the two levels of IB?
I would just warn you to check universities you are interested in to see how much credit you can get for IB or AP classes. A friend of my daughter’s was shocked that the school she goes to would not give her credit for her IB classes! She got the full diploma and worked her tail off.
