This is a two-year course - you earn one credit at the end of each year. You will receive an overall IB score based on material you submit to be graded by IB during these two years, as well as taking an IB exam at the end of the 2nd year. The college you attend will determine the amount of college credit you receive based on your IB score.
This class also provides weighted credit (for example, a 4.0 earned will actually count as a 4.6 for your GPA). This can give you an advantage as successfully completing the class will increase your GPA more than non-weighted classes.
