<p>hi there,</p>
<p>i'm doing the IB program, graduating next year.
i have two questions...</p>
<p>1) do only IB HLs count as AP classes? because you can take twice as many APs as you can HLs.. does anyone know how colleges consider that?</p>
<p>2) conversion - GPA is on a scale of 5 (i think) and IB is 7, does anyone know how this is done, or have any idea of where i can find an explanation?</p>
<p>much appreciated and good luck to y'all</p>
<p>i think only HL's are considered for college credit, but i think some sl's like pshycology are included.</p>
<p>1) yes, HLs = AP credit at most colleges. though, they are arguably much much much more difficult, work-intensive classes. but, you can take AP exams for their SL or HL counterparts, as it is MUCH easier get a 5 on an AP than a 6 or 7 on an IB exam.
2) IB exams are graded on a scale of 1-7 but that is entirely independent of GPA, as far as i know.</p>
