Op, AP is more flexible if you are interested in sciences and math; colleges will not see much difference between the two. A new IB program may have some rough edges the first few years.

@VickiSoCal there’s typically quite a bit of overlap between AP calc BC and Math HL with the calc option (even according to IBO, AP BC covers more calc topics, though lacks the IB’s breadth in other areas). Is it possible that they are studying a different option in HL yr 2? Or perhaps they are just going deeper in order to prepare for the tests?
