<p>So, I am a student in a CBSE school , undergoing integrated school coaching for the IIT JEE examination.
As far as I know, there are 3 calculus exams (AB , BC and AB subscored) , one chemistry exam (thankfully) , and 3 physics exams (B , C Electromagnetics, and C Mechanics ).</p>
<p>What are the differences in the calculus and physics exams , obvious ones aside?
I am able to solve most JEE questions , some after a long sitting, so I think I can ackle a few difficult questions, though I have no idea about the level of AP questions. Which tests should I take in view of my ability?</p>
<p>bump for help pls?</p>
<p>There are only 2 calculus exams, AB and BC. If you take the BC exam, you receive an AB subscore, which is your performance on the AB material. It’s not a separate exam.</p>
<p>AP questions are not “difficult.” They test your knowledge of the material, not your ability to solve challenging problems. </p>
<p>You’ll have little to no issues for chemistry, it’s essentially the same as IIT chemistry minus organic chem. The same holds for physics; don’t take the B exam.
Calculus BC covers more than what’s covered in the standard Indian curriculum, you can find the BC curriculum [url=<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap-calculus-course-description.pdf]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>I would recommend taking another AP exam, your focus seems pretty narrow at the moment. Good luck!</p>
<p>Math BC, Chem and Physics C… and maybe AP Lit. so that you finish off the initial language requirements …</p>
<p>Hmmm … so I take both physics C, Calculus b , chemistry.</p>
<p>What is the difference between AP literature and AP language?
Also, what about a computer science AP exam? Comp Sc is not my strongest suject, but I think it might be worth a shot.I also see that there is an environmental science exam , so I might prepare for that after my boards :S</p>
<p>@quiverfox, what exactly do you mean by initial language requirements ?</p>
<p>AP Comp Sci is really easy. With a CBSE background, you would do great.</p>
<p>Both AP lit and language would be very different from what you do in school, do I would suggest that you go over the syllabus.</p>
<p>And how about the statistics exam? Also, is there an International English Language exam?</p>
<p>Thanks anmolm96 … according to the common app, there is a comp sci A and a comp sci AB … but I cant find AB on the AP site</p>
<p>AB was discontinued a few years ago. There is only CS A now.</p>
<p>Ok cool. What about an international english exam? Is that also discontinued ?</p>
<p>When u initially get into college, as an international student … I (guess… As for me) they check if u are capable in the english language( basics) …</p>
<p>Isnt that cleared by ur toefl/sat score? I got 115/2280 in them. I thought the ap results werent even sent to colleges with your application and that they were mainly to get credits.</p>
<p>Not sure how well this maps onto Indian cirriculum but the difference between AP Lang and AP Lit…neither tests just your ability to read/understand english. They are english exams for native speakers and therefore may be quite difficult for non-native speakers (they aren’t that easy for native speakers). </p>
<p>Lit: tests your ability to understand and comprehend high level english (complicated poetry, high level literature, etc.) Half is multiple choice where you answer questions dealing with choosing the best word, completing analogies, answering questions about literary terms, etc. Half is essay writing, usually analyzing one poem, one piece of prose, and then writing on one open ended question. Students are expected to be familiar with a wide variety of english literature (the open ended question asks you to answer in relation to a list of books or a similar books to the ones on the list). </p>
<p>Lang: less personal experience with this one but it’s my understanding that language exam is much more about expository or argumentative writing/reading. Has a focus on the purpose and audience of the writing. </p>
<p>hope this helps!</p>
<p>thank you uscamstudent … I think I might check out language a bit.</p>
