<p>parekhsr, it's very important to look up individually for every college you are interested in their policy on IB credit. Just go to the school's website and search for IB. Some schools like Va Tech give credit even for SL exams. Most don't and some only take 7's on HL (which is absolutely ridiculous since supposedly only 2% of the world gets 7's on HL exam). One advice I got from a past IB student was "remember, you can always sleep when you are dead" Hahah...I guess it depends on your school but sometimes the work is A LOT. Make sure you do well on your IA's...20% doesn't sound like a lot but it's the one thing you can ensure you do right before exam day. If you are aiming for a 6 or 7, those 20% become very important. (for some subjects IA's count more or less)</p>
<p>Also, do your EE...really do it. At my school many BSed it. Once again, try to get some bonus points with the EE/ToK combo. You can always use some help.</p>
<p>Oh, another thing. We did our World LIt papers at the end of Junior Year. Now, I htought that was messed up to give it to us after AP's and some IB exams. THus, many didn't take them seriously and slacked through the process. Last year's class suffered majorly by low world lit papers. So take that into consideration. Many ppl ended up with 4's somehow on English HL when they were expecting at least a 6.</p>
<p>WlbrgRvr89 , there is a group on facebook..something like "If your Ap class is "killing you" come take an IB one" Hahaha...</p>
