Judging by your writing, you're reeeeeeetarded

The IB program is supposed to make grading more fair and easier on the teachers and the students but it doesn't it also is supposed to make you reflect more but it just annoys the hell out of everyone

international baccalaureate. for my school district, it's junior and senior years of high school. i sort of considered it for a second, just because i wanted something different, but wound up calling bull on it.

It's International Baccalaureate. Essentially AP but you're able to transfer your credits internationally.

no it wont. it will not be worth it. i fucking promise.


i was in IB for like half of a semester before i decided it was complete and total fucking bullshit. almost no schools worth going to accept IB credit. the program is basically a huge amount of extra and unnecessary work that gets you fucking nowhere. in fact, the entirety of high school is bullshit.

just take all of your required classes to graduate highschool at a community college during your senior year, and then transfer into a 4 year school. you get a whole year of college and a whole year of highschool and it looks fucking awesome on a college application.

I hear that. I'm supposed to be working on some IB bullshit right now. Just wait until you're in diploma program. It seriously gets lke 12x worse. I would consider just dropping the program asap and just do some AP courses.

/thread.

except for the fact that there is literally NO WAY in the fucking world that the collegeboard is actually a non-profit, which they claim.

it costs me 86 bucks to take a test, and they have millions of them every year. not to mention they run the sat, psat, and many other imperative resources to get admitted to college.

It's worth it if you take the right AP courses, like AP World History is bullshit but a 5 on AP Calc BC will get you noticed.

They offer IB at my school. I used to be friends with a few kids in it before they started the program, they are a year in and I haven't talked to most of those friends in over 6 months. IB kids have NO social life.

This.

We don't have IB at my school, but from what I've heard its not worth it, but APs definitely are. I'm really pissed that My schedule got so messed up this year and I can only take 1/4 AP classes that I wanted.

That's better than I did haha, but history is not my strong suit, see the only AP classes I'm taking/will take jr and sr year are AP Computer Science, AL calc bc, and AP physics, all the others ive taken/taking/will take are just for show on college apps.

You don't know what you're talking about.  I took both classes last year, and got 5's on both.  The AP World History was much harder that the Calc BC exam.  Not to mention colleges don't even see your AP scores until you get accepted.

Yes I do, AP World only counts for an elective credit and doesn't even qualify for a credit even if you get a 5 at schools such as MIT. And what grade are you in to take AP World and AP calc BC?

Like I said, I thought it was a cakewalk in comparison to World History.  Maybe, I just have a math and science mind?

I would assume so, as most of my friends have said AP calc bc is the hardest exam they've ever taken.
