What are the exams of IB (like EE or CC)? How is IB different from AP or Honors?

I have been noticing these exams that many IB students hate, and it could be helpful if I learn about them before I have a chance to enroll into IB next year. Are they anything to study for, and do they require me to learn a different language?

You do have to study for exams and learning a foreign language is required.

Check out the IB website:
