<p>If sl is just as good as AP i cant wait to do it when I reach stateside</p>
<p>Well, in terms of colleges</p>
<p>SL < AP</p>
<p>AP ~ HL</p>
<p>but that's not how it works out.. colleges need to recognize HL as more credit than AP (2 years of work vs. 1! Isn't it obvious?)</p>
<p>what about difficulty. In my hl physics class our teacher sometimes gives us ap questions that are relatively straightforward.</p>
<p>anyone who considers Ib sl/ hl classes as easy as ap classes is crazy..</p>
<p>or atleast that isn't the case at my high school, I could go into an ap class fall asleep and still get an A, i do that in an ib class they'll kick me out of the program within a week. In my school ap classes are a joke everyone takes them for the easy A and then just fail the test.</p>
<p>IB classes do a lot less than the AP kids at my school. And the AP tests are harder... </p>
<p>I share an IB HL Spanish class with my AP Spanish lit class, and their work is pathetic compared to the AP Spanish lang exam we all took last year.</p>
<p>I'm sorrry, but IB in my school is a joke..really sad..their math is AP AB level..</p>
<p>Boxes, that's probably because they're taking Math at the Standard Level</p>
<p>And what I've found out recently is that schools like Harvard will ONLY accepts 7's from higher level classes, which is complete BULL - Its so much easier to make a 5 on AP exams (where the cutoff is around 60-70%) while on IB exams the cutoff for a 7 is higher. They need to at least accept 6's. Grr..</p>
<p>you only need a 60-70% to get a 5 in AP clac?</p>
<p>yeah, it's probably closer to 60% actually</p>
<p>SL exams are a bit of a joke...</p>
<p>HL exams are definitely not.</p>
<p>School in beijing I attend. Only IB's. NO Ap's/ =/</p>
