Are AP and IB better in certain subjects?

<p>Here’s the breakdown between AP and IB science/math courses:</p>

<ol>
<li>The combination of AP BC Calculus and AP Statistics covers more than IB Math HL. IB Further Math covers more than the combination, though.</li>
<li>AP Physics C is a much harder course (and is more focused) than IB Physics HL. The IB course doesn’t go into very much depth and doesn’t use calculus.</li>
<li>IB Biology covers far more than AP Biology.</li>
<li>AP Chemistry covers slightly less than IB Chemistry HL.</li>
</ol>

<p>As many of you have said, in general the IB humanities are vastly superior to the AP ones. A lot of this has to do with the fact that AP courses last one year whereas IB courses last two.</p>
