What's the difference between IB course and AP course?

First, IB and AP are actually two different concepts in essence.

IB is actually a two-year complete study plan, which strengthens the high school diploma, while AP is a separate exam.

Usually IB courses need more time and energy than AP courses. Generally, everyone thinks that IB is more difficult and IB has higher gold content.

Second, different learning styles:

1, IB can only study in schools with IB programs, and students can only get diplomas if their grades are qualified.

2.AP's elective courses are flexible, which can be completed through school, network or self-study, and then take the exam.

Third, the course time is different:

1, ap course, there is no time limit for course selection.

2. High school IB actually adopts a four-year academic system. The first two years are the former IB, and the last two years are IB. If you don't attend the IB preparatory course, you can't enter the IB course later.

Fourth, the development direction is different:

1, IB courses often emphasize students' all-round and balanced development in science, humanities, foreign languages, art, social work, etc., and do not focus on one subject or another.

2.AP will provide single-subject intensive learning, and students can decide what AP subject to choose according to their own specialties and school conditions.

Five, the course difficulty is different:

1, single subject, AP course is far deeper than IB course;

2. Generally speaking, IB course is far more difficult than AP course.
