Is Full I.B considered as rigourous or more as AP

<p>Just saying cause I'm a senior and in Full I.B, and my cousin is taking all AP classes. I would say that when i talk to her it seems that AP isn't as rigorous as Full I.B based on info we were discussing. </p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>It really depends on the teacher. At my school, taking 6-7 AP’s at once would be a lot of work. AP classes are really up to the teacher as for grading and things. I do not know much about IB, but I think full IB would be slightly harder. I school near mine is an IB school, and I hear horror stories about the work. But, just as with AP, it depends on the teacher.</p>

<p>Why not (please don’t, you’ll die) do both?</p>

<p>IF everything goes correctly (and I doubt it will, yay for positivity), then I’d have around 15 APs and an IB diploma (Taking courses online on FLVS, yaaay).</p>

<p>Yeah, and people say the IB dimploma is already overkill in my school.</p>

<p>^Does taking classes on-line increase your GPA?</p>

<p>For FLVS, I’m pretty sure it does. Not sure about other programs though. I’m not taking any easy classes online too (well, maybe except for Environmental, but Bio offsets that) :D.</p>
