Yup, the results were available today on results.ibo.org. I got mine, who else?

It's worthless in the workplace. I only took a few IB classes. I needed a 7 on the exam and the diploma to pass out of English 101 (got a 4, didn't bother with diploma). AP is much better.

I only needed 5s on my HL tests to skip two college classes per test, so for me it was worth it.

And yet, the topic wasn't "Are IB Diplomas Worth It?"

Relatively ancient and inactive

I never heard about IB before it was mentioned on SEN. Just AP. A looooot of hearing about AP's.

And yet, I'd say the responses are pretty relevant. Otherwise, there would be no replies at all which directly address your question.

Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting

Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units

Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff

Vrael -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
[10:13 pm]
Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations
[10:12 pm]
Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago
[05:47 pm]
NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.
