“That study was interesting. I wonder what the results would be if the IB courses selected had actually been HL courses?”

By the same token, they only looked at AB Calculus.

I would think that the reason they chose SL courses is because that’s probably what most kids take since they can only talk half the courses at HL. I would think they chose AB Calc for the same reason-- because that’s what most commonly taken.

In other words, it looks to me that they tried to compare the typical IB/ AP experience-- not the options with the most rigor.
