“Most of this discussion has been about AP classes. Two of the three IB programs in town require all juniors to take Lang and Lit. I think this is even worse than requiring an AP Lit class because you can’t test unless you take the 2nd year of the IB class as well, so you couldn’t get any college credit for the junior year of the class.”
In our IB program Juniors take AP lang, seniors take AP lit, and together they are the 2 year HL English course. So you do get credit for junior year, assuming you pass the AP Lang test.
