Also, grading is taken at face value, unlike AP where grading is weighted. So a PSEO student getting straight isn't going to do as well as an AP student getting straight As. I think that is strange. I mean a kid taking PSEO is doing work 2+ years ahead; so, why isn't that weighted? I don't know how it works with IB programs, but I sure am interested because I'm watching that for Mite.
