^ Haha of course I know that AP students are on the same level as us It’s just as I said, good natured competition! The majority of my friends are in AP and I know they’re all just as intelligent as the people in IB :)

And nah, in my school, there’s no real emphasis on either program. In my IB year, there’s like less than 30 kids but there’s a WHOLE lot more in AP!

And I never said I assumed I was better than any AP applicant. Of course there are people in AP, IB, or even in neither of those that are way smarter than me! At my school when we argue over who’s best it’s more like teasing and joking, haha not like cutthroat competition :)

Besides, I actually think you cannot really compare the two! They are two vastly different styles of education! Although I have to add in (and don’t get mad at me) one of the ways I believe IB is better is because we have TOK (Theory of Knowledge). In my opinion, EVERYONE should take that class - not just IB kids. It’s a shame it’s not offered to kids outside of the diploma :/
