Colleges should de-emphasize test scores

ib courses are more difficult than ap courses

</p>

<p>No, not necessarily. There’s been a lot of debate over that (I can’t find a specific thread, but there have been discussions on this.) </p>

.if you take 1 ap course while in the IB diploma program . . . but get a 3.7/4.0 they won’t take you seriously like they would somebody with only 3-4 ap’s and no IB but a 4.6 weighted gpa (or something closer to a 4.0 unweighted).

<p>Says who? Guidance counselors can put how hard your course load is.</p>
