Taking AP Exams with IB Courses

<p>I am an IB diploma candidate, and I was wondering which AP exams I could match up with my schedule for Junior year. I want to have some scores to show colleges, since I won't get my IB exam scores until late Senior year.</p>

<p>IB History I - possibly AP Euro History?
IB English I- possibly AP English?
IB SL Econ- Macro or Micro Econ? Both?
IB Physics I- AP Physics? Which one, if so?</p>

<p>I will be taking History II, English II, and Physics II in senior year, however, I won't have the option of taking the exams then. Will the Level One courses prepare me sufficiently if I buy a review book in the beginning of the year and study with them alongside my IB classes? But I do want to avoid overloading myself during Junior year. Thank you!</p>

<p>maya, Seniors at my school tell me that it's best to take AP Euro History right after IB History (as the material stays fresh).</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

<p>I'd like to know the answer to the question(s) too.</p>

<p>I looked up some info about the IB History/AP EH classes.</p>

<p>IB History I is 1450-1900 European History, and IB History II is 1900-present day. The exam covers 1450-present day. I'm not sure how in-depth the AP is, though. It may just be a couple weeks of self-study to get up to speed, so I'll ask around.</p>

<p>And from looking at the CB website, it seems that AP English Lang and AP English Lit are exams where you don't necessarily have to take the class- you just have to have a good, strong English foundation and be able to write well. (Feel free to chime in, anyone?)</p>

<p>I'm still curious about the others, though.</p>

<p>People at my school take AP Macro at the end of their IB Econ SL course. I've heard that you have to do a bit of self studying to cover material in the AP curriculum that's not in the IB one.</p>
