thanks, but adjusting grade boundary does not mean "拉curve"

Let's use DSE as an example:

perhaps there are different understandings with 拉 curve?

by adjusting the grade boundary, the IB score does not reflect the absolute marks. to some, including myself, it is a kind of 拉curve, though the 拉curvings in the 2 systems serve for very different purposes.

我反而想知 AP 會否比 IB 易讀？

我都好想知！有冇家長有經驗可交流一下？
如有，請留一留言吖，唔該晒！
我上網搵過少少資料，話IB要寫成4000字ESSAY，但AP就考MC，聽落好似易好多咁，因為唔識都有得撞！但之後又好似要考個SAT！
我囡囡就覺得好吸引！
如有錯誤請更正。
我都正煩梗呢樣嘢，因為囡囡啱啱轉咗入IS，想轉另一間，依家讀梗嘅係AP，如果要轉就要諗埋IB定點好！

All kinds of students could thrive in good international education. Only a small number of students could study comfortably in a local curriculum.

Unfortunately you have to figure out what education is the kind that you admire and would like your loved ones to learn in.

Which one is easier is the wrong question to ask.

Focus on finding the “best” curriculum for the target universities.

ib 生一般寫4,000字唔難，那份係extended essay, 是ib diploma core 一部分, 學生自己選喜愛題目去寫，過程会跟老師討論，見過一些題材真係好精彩。

考SAT(或者ACT) 係為申請美國大學，無論什麼學制都要考，近年有少數大學exempt。英國和香港的大學主要看成績，申請美國大學会考慮學業成績以外因素，要求不同。你孩子已有目標？

每一間中上的大學，也對收 DSE, AP, IB, A-level 學生有經驗，我想信無截徑。無所謂著數。

回覆 shadeslayer 的帖子

我小朋友小五，未有目標大學或學科，最大機會是留港大學，但一心中學轉IS主要因更認同IS更有效在語言溝通分析思考及全人發展。同意學制冇分易難，我覺得讀得好就入番同層次的大學吧。所以亦同意選擇應以適合小朋友為依歸.

但就是對不同學制只有表面如制度及要求上的了解，請問：

1）本地及英美澳大學有沒有對任何學制是不接受或有大限制/額外要求須留意嗎？

2）可否幫忙建議不同學制(IB / A level / AP) 適合或不適合什麼種類性格長處短處嘅小朋友?

For your reference, quite a lot of "others" admitted via non jupas local

唔洗客氣。其實學校係一個小社區，各種性格學生都有，我孩子自少ib school, 性格文静少言，每次見老師都話希望佢主動講多D，好難期望一個 introvert 会大改變，但少言課的孩子一樣享受ib 學習課程, 要做oral presentation 一樣可做得好好，只要比時間他們準備。如孩子在課堂多發言多發問當然最好，老師可了解他們是否明白內容等，並可和同學分享同ideas。

哦，明白了！謝謝！我囡囡依家G6，我睇佢目標都仲未好CONFIRM！
近來問佢就同我講想向ARTS方面發展，但之前就同我講想做pharmacist！
未決定將來會留港定外國升大學，等佢大啲再決定！
聽日會帶佢去SCAD DAY都睇下！

先進國家如英國，美國，他們收國際生有大量經驗，所有主流學制， AP, A-Level， IB，也沒有什麼值得擔心的限制。入讀香港的大學，當然DSE比較機會多，因為收太多 Non Jupas 生香港的大學有壓力。

IB要求學生綜合能力，讀寫能力較高。A-level 較專，為了一些專業大學課程，中學讀A level 專攻某幾科應該好啲。

Thanks again.
I understand more now after reading all your good sharing and information.

May I also ask why majority of IB DP study IGCSE instead of IBMP?

I am thinking it looks good to study IGCSE first and decide later whether to proceed to IBDP or A-Level when my child has clearer preference.

In case I choose a A-level school now, will it be hard to change from an A-level school to an IB school later on?  Thanks

ib myp成本会高D，亦受到ibo監察，而GCSE係公開試，一個認可資歷。無論myp 上 dp, 或 GCSE 上dp, 亦各有強弱處。

The reasons why in HK many international schools run IGCSE then IBDP are, I suspect:

1. International students are more likely to change schools at different points in their parents careers, and having a IGCSE certificate gives students wider choices in schools in different countries.

2. IGCSE is an open exam many students from many countries compete. Students have a chance before the big A-level or IBDP to see how they compare with everyone else outside the school. Students better understand their particular way to handle open exams, find their own weaknesses and adjust in the final big A-level or IBDP. Affording an opportunity for students to fine tune their most effective study mode, academic weakness and strong points. Part of students self-discovery journey.

In regards to IGCSE transition into IBDP, many schools have proved that the transition is not necessarily a problem.But it takes a good school, a good IB team to make transition smooth.
