In this video, "Taking AP, IB & Dual Credit Courses The Key To Reach College Acceptances and Massive College Savings." We talk about the benefits of AP, IB and Dual Credit Course. Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States created by the College Board which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. American colleges and universities may grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores on the examinations. The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum sets out the requirements for study of the DP.
The curriculum is made up of the DP core and six subject groups.
Made up of the three required components, the DP core aims to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills.
#1: AP Is Much More Popular Than IB
The IB program is far less common than AP. More than 2.8 million students took AP exams in 2019, but only about 166,000 took IBs. Furthermore, AP reported in 2014 that over 30% of US public high students took at least one AP exam.
While AP is quite widespread, the IB program is rarer since schools have to be able to offer enough classes for the diploma in order to host an IB program. Adding IB is often more costly than starting a few AP classes.
#2: IB and AP Have Different Program Goals
The programs have different goals as well. IB has more emphasis on writing and developing critical-thinking skills-and not just on the exams themselves. The IB diploma also requires the extended essay (a long, college-style research paper) and maintains extracurricular requirements.
In contrast, the AP is a program focused on teaching students specific content and testing their knowledge via exams. There is more multiple choice on these tests and a bigger emphasis on meeting certain content goals.
#3: IB Is More Expensive Than AP
Another difference is that IB exams are more expensive for US students than AP exams.
Whereas there is a $119 fee per IB exam, AP tests cost $94 per exam for students at schools in the US, US territories, or Canada, and $124 per exam for all other students.

Great video. I do have some questions, though: Would getting a bad score reduce the chances of admissions into a competitive school if you were to report it? If you do get a bad score and don't report it, would that omission also negatively affect the chances of admissions into a selective school?

How would it be different if the credits you bring count toward your major or electives?
