<p>is AP harder or IB?</p>
<p>IB is suppose to be harder from what i've heard but most schools don't offer IB.</p>
<p>I am a current IB diploma candidate, actually I just took my final IB exam today, I also took AP calc. AP is just a test that you don't even need to take a class for, IB is a program. If you're a diploma candidate you need to write a 4000 word research paper as well as fufill a service requirment called CAS. Your IB grade is not simply based off the exam, each course, for example IB English, had a 1500 World Lit I paper on foreign dramas, a 1500 World Lit II paper on foreign prose, a 10 minute oral on selected pieces of literature and then a written exam consisting of an unseen literary commentary and then a drama essay. I believe IB is more work but it's not necessarily hard if you manage it well. If anyone has any questions on IB pm me.</p>
