My experience IB & AP courses in high school (only took a couple however) leads me to believe that only college prepares a student for college. High School work loads and curriculum vs college work loads were not the issue for me, but I did find that my environment did a 180 reverse turn when I began attending college, and consequently - so did my study habits. Nothing could have prepared me for this. If I could turn the clock back I might have dropped the AP course, spent a little less time studying in my folks house, enjoyed high school a bit more, and started my days in college in exactly the same way as I did with the AP course (sans 6 credits). Take care out there everyone Great post Laurelin. My experience IB & AP courses in high school (only took a couple however) leads me to believe that only college prepares a student for college.
