今天参加了旺旺的教育沙龙，感觉对标题的内容有了进一步的理解，此贴与各位探讨和分享：
1. SAT II的考试是关于美国高中一般教育Regular的单科考试，所以满分很多
2. Honor课程是美国高中比一般课程难的课程，对GPA有影响
3. AP课程是大学预科课程，比Honor课程难度高，对GPA和申请大学有影响，可能可以顶替大学学分
4. 对GPA，一般难度课程最高为4，Honor课程的GPA最高为4.5，AP课程的GPA最高为5
5. AP课程包括文科和理科课程，IB课程偏文科
6. IB课程比AP课程更难，英语写作要求很高。上海中学国际部TOP20%进IB班，70%进AP班
7. 高中各年级GPA对申请大学的重要程度：Grade 9 *, Grade 10 **, Grade 11 ***, Grade 12 ***
8. IB高中的学生也有考AP课程的
9. 申请大学一般SAT II考2~3门；AP课程一般3门或以上
10. 美国私立高中的TOP100，公立高中的TOP100都是要求很高的学校
11. IB课程也可能顶替大学学分

如有错误，请各位更正。

回复8楼: 关于申请美国大学的作用问题,不同的大学的政策是不同的.大部分大学更看重IB高中的毕业文凭,而不仅仅是IB或AP课程的成绩.可以上大学的官网查询的.
比如:
Duke University IB policy:
Placement and credit are available for IB higher level examinations with scores of 6 and 7. Students must obtain course equivalency recommendations from the relevant departments. Course work from the classes taken in preparation for the exams may be helpful in demonstrating what was covered. Students may, depending upon the departmental recommendation, receive up to 2 course credits per exam. There is no limit in the amount of course credits that can be obtained by IB examinations as college policy, except in those departments which place a limit on AP course credits as departmental policy. Physics students must, in addition, take a qualifying examination for credit in physics. Awarded credit counts towards graduation and may, upon approval, count towards major requirements, but does not count towards the fulfillment of Area-of-Knowledge curriculum requirements. The Registrar's Office will award credit to enrolled students once it has received an official copy of the IB transcript plus the required departmental recommendations.

Harvard University IB policy:
Students who have earned the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma with a grade of 7 on at least three Higher Level examinations may qualify for Advanced Standing. Students wishing to use IB exams for Advanced Standing should request that the IB Americas' office send an official IB transcript directly to Harvard.

Credit toward the bachelor's degree for new students not admitted as transfer students is offered only on the basis of AP or IB examinations (or other reviewed international credentials). The College does not grant credit toward a Harvard degree for courses taken at other universities prior to matriculation. Therefore, students wishing to be eligible for Advanced Standing are advised to sit for the AP examinations in fields they have already studied, whether or not they participated in a formal AP course in secondary school. Students may learn about AP examinations by writing to the Program Director, College Board Advanced Placement Examinations, Box 977, Princeton, New Jersey 08540..

回复DXMOM妈妈:
关于GPA, 如果是Regular课程,最高只能是4, Honor课程,最高会是4.5, AP课程最高会是5. 原则上如果能跟上的话应该尽可能选有挑战性的课程,这样才有可能GPA超过4. 很多名校要求GPA>4.0的..

补充一点关于IB高中的信息:
What College Admission Directors are saying about IB...
“IB is well known to us for its excellent preparations. Success in an IB program correlates well with success at Harvard.  We are always pleased to see the credentials of the IB Diploma Programme on the transcript.”
Marilyn McGrath Lewis
Director of Undergraduate Admission
Harvard University

“One of the advantages of the IB curriculum is its structure and quality.  It is a coordinated program, well established, well known and well respected.  We know the quality if IB courses, and we think the IB curriculum is terrific.”
Christoph Guttentag
Director of Undergraduate Admission
Duke University

“Send us prepared students a la IB. . . It is the ‘best’ high school prep curriculum an American school can offer.”
Marilee Jones
Director of Undergraduate Admission
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

University Rate for IB Diploma Students
IB students have a distinct advantage in college admission over their peers.  Universities consistently admit students at a higher rate than their non-IB counterparts.  In a 2002 survey, over 5,400 IB seniors were asked to report which universities accepted them. Here are some highlights from that survey:

多谢,受教了.

我们现在正在申请美国IB高中,发现他们的基本要求是TOEFL>90,而且对SAT有一定的要求,的确不容易.

楼上有童鞋在读或读过IB高中的吗?能分享这方面更多的经验吗?谢啦!.

补充一点关于SAT II: SAT II主要用来比较,校准各个不同学校的GPA的可比性,所以一般2门就好了,750分以上一般不认为有大的差别.所以说SAT II只能起到落井下石的作用,它不能起到锦上添花的作用..

对滴,这也不是绝对的. 不同的学校是去区别的.

个人觉得, IB课程的设置,是真正的通识教育,素质教育.

不明白了，啥叫落井下石？是指sat2成绩不够高的话？

是的，考高了没问题，考低了就会影响你的评分.

恩恩，先去看看，学习学习，谢谢热心人！.

已经看过了，对IB的情况有了更进一步的了解了，非常感谢，如果以后有问题，还要请教你呢！嘻嘻.

查了一下美国一些IB高中的资料, 一般38分就是很高分了,有的IB高中34分不考SAT就能直接进纽约大学了. 但上海的IB高中怎么一考就是45分满分, 至少也是40分以上. 神啊!!!!.

不太明白，不是说高二暑假申请，高三上学期期末考的时候就能拿到offer吗？这样还要12年级成绩有什么用？

是这样的，但大学入学还要看12年级的成绩，也有可能被拒滴.
