CAN anyone explain how that's possible because the person who achieved that equivalence was from u.s and clearly IBCC deducts 20% so how is it POsssible to get that score
the answer to ur question is AP CLASSES...
i recently got my ibbc score...and it wasnt anywhere close to that score..
i was extremely disappointed, although i had striaght A's throughout high school, in all of my classes...
i argued with the IBCC...and they pointed out that i hadn't taken AP Bio/Chem/Phys...
bcuz of that, they deducted 20%...
if i had taken AP courses (and gotten As in them and a 4 or 5 on the AP test) , they would have deducted only 10%...

...although i have read somewhere on this webiste, that AP courses are not required,
TECHNICALLY THEY ARE...
especially if u want a score close to the 880-900 range...
just getting straight As in honors courses (what i did) just isnt enough...
especially if ur applying under PTAP...ur score needs to be ATLEAST greater than 850...the LAST person to get into a govt college under PTAP had a score of 854...
