In my opinion, it does help quiet alot... Basically, if you are taking the whole program, then you are partically taking 1st U in high school. So, when you enter U, you can have two options...
1) If you did well on your IB exams, you can start taking 2xx courses in U
2) Take 1xx courses, you'll have a pretty relaxing 1st yr since you will know most of the stuff ...

If you chose option 1, and did well on your IB exams, you save time and $$

And if I remember correctly, for UBC, if you graduated under the IB program, you are instantly rewarded a scholarship.

I personally graded from IB, but not dipolma, only certificates... Yea, there's alot of work if you want to do the full program...like my bro, he's doing it but seems to be doing quite well...

But for IB classes, at least for my school, we have two separate grades, one is the "IB mark" and the other one is a scaled mark "as in the gr12 mark"

i grad from bby south IB
i agree with Satoshi
it really helps if you can "survive" thru full IB
but... certificate..
i don't think it's worth it..
however, you can choose to take partial IB
but take more higher level courses that can transfer credits later in univ

I think I can survive thru IB, but the thing is I'm afraid I'll get low marks...
