I've never heard of IB..

It's sort of the European-based equivalent of the American AP system. It's apparently used in a lot of international schools, including mine...

I don't know exactly what AP is since I'm not in it...

IB, however, is a program for 11th and 12th graders in which you can choose to take your subjects Standard Level (easy) or Higher Level (freakishly hard). At the end of 12th grade, you're given an exam not by your school, but from the IB headquarters somewhere in Europe. If you pass, you get your IB Diploma, colleges are majorly impressed, some give college credit, et cetera. 3nodding
Students can also choose not to take the IB program, in which case your exam is made by your teachers in school, and you only get a diploma from your high school, not a shiny pretty IB diploma. xd

Yeah. I'm Heathrow. (The airport. As in it's all going over my head)...
Sorry, I'm really quite dozy when it comes to explanations and I don't know what the equivalent to 11th or 12th grade is... Sorry. When I force intelligence upon myself, I'll find you an have a lenghty discussion with you... Till that day, I'll just listen to you and not comprehend what you are meaning.

--;___[[I believe 11th and 12th grade is lower and upper sixth form.

We have Higher Level and Foundation.
I'm not sure about the whole IB and AP thing, though.||.

I'm not sure if this helps any, but 11th and 12th grades are the last two years of schooling before entering into a college or university.
