Info

Selecting Your Math Course IB Math selection is determined by your level and performance & the departmental recommendation. (The departmental recommendation uses five measures: math grade from semester 1, math exam from semester 1, score on placement test, the recommendation from current math teacher, and PSAT or MAP score. These recommendations are given to Grade 10 students in January or early February.) Selecting Your Science Course Students need to be careful when selecting which science to study. Please refer to the flow diagram in the Science course section of the book for guidance. Remember that the Group 4 Experimental Sciences also includes Environmental Systems and Societies, Computer Science, and Sports, Exercise and Health Science. The Environmental Systems and Societies course can be chosen to fulfill the requirements as a Group 3 course or a Group 4 course, or if necessary, it can fulfill both Group 3 and 4 in one. This would allow a student, for example, to fit an extra Arts subject into their schedule from group 6.

What is Advanced Placement? ADVANCED PLACEMENT The Advanced Placement Program is a cooperative educational endeavor between high schools and colleges. Since its inception in 1955, the Program has provided high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. In many cases, students who participate in the Program earn college credit. The Advanced Placement Program is very well-established in the US and widely accepted by US colleges and universities. ISM students have taken the examinations listed below in recent years. Academic Area Languages Sciences Mathematics History & Social Sciences AP Examination Offered English Literature and Composition + Spanish Language Chinese Language and Culture Biology+ Chemistry+ Physics B+ Physics C Calculus AB + Calculus BC+ Statistics US History * European History Macroeconomics+ Microeconomics+ Psychology Computer Science A General * Subjects marked with an asterisk are taught classes. + If a student takes the appropriate IB class, a significant amount of the AP course is covered; with some additional preparation the student may be ready to take the examination. The External Examination Requirement for IB and AP Courses In order to validate and bring closure to an academic experience of this level, all students enrolled in an IB or AP course are required to take the external exams. Note: There are fees associated with registering for IB and AP courses. Families will be invoiced separately for these expenses. 20
