<p>I was considering doing the IB in conjunction with what I'll be starting next year as a Freshman. My school isn't an IB one, nor does it offer any support to do the course, so I was wondering if anybody's done it outside of school? Online? Or at a centre? How do you go about executing this?</p>
<p>Not trying to discourage you but I go to a IB school and I think it would be pretty impossible. My schedule is totally different than the rest of the kids my age in the area because I’m doing IB. It isn’t something I imagine you could do in addition to your normal school work. Maybe you could transfer? Good luck 
I loooove and hate IB lol</p>
<p>No, I definitely don’t want to transfer. Was wondering how I could go about doing that with school. I know some people who did it with their school work, so thought I could too. Is there like a centre or something you can go to classes for? Anybody know?</p>
<p>Your pretty much asking to take two sets of high school courses, thats ALLOT like I don’t think you or anyone on here could handle that.</p>
<p>Hmm… I guess it would be pretty stressful and time consuming. </p>
<p>Fellow CC’ers, tell me one thing though:</p>
<p>How are AP’s taken online viewed by colleges? How are they recognised by colleges and added to your reports and transcripts? Am I at a disadvantage if I do AP’s online?</p>
<p>I don’t think there is and I’ve never ever heard of anybody self studying for an IB exam because usually they are 2 year courses and most of them are really hard. Do you want an IB diploma? Or a IBMYP certificate? Both of those require more than just the classes. Oh and since obviously I’m IB I can’t tell you about AP… But I don’t imagine colleges would think any less of you for taking an AP class online… Especially if your school doesn’t offer that. I think they’d see it as a great thing!</p>
<p>@jerevedeparis, thanks! Your username is pretty cool.</p>
<p>Thanks! I really love anything to do with France and French!</p>
<p>It is absolutely not possible to self study IB. You MUST be enrolled in an accredited IB World School to have exams administered to you. This is because 20-30% of your grade (scaled 1-7) is from Internal Assessments (IAs) that are given by your teacher periodically during the year. The “papers” (exams at the end) are the remainder of your grade, and are graded by external graders from around the world.</p>
