<p>What’s the AP exam?</p>
<p>can only IB students take AP or is it open for cbse students as well? and is it necessary to take the course to write the test?</p>
<p>The AP is open for all students regardless of your board. In fact it has more benefits for students from CBSE, ISC, and HSC than IB as IB students lardy receive some credit.</p>
<p>It is recommended that you take the course before giving the exam, but it might be possible for you to simply give the exam too.</p>
<p>Does taking an Advanced Placement program improve your chances of being accepted in universities like MIT or Caltech?</p>
<p>No. Schools don’t discriminate against students in whose school the Advanced Placement exams haven’t been offered. Since that is the case generally with Indian students, it would hardly give you an edge as far as admissions go.
Taking the APs, however, do benefit you once you get to college as they can be used to test out of freshman level elementary courses with credit.</p>
<p>Since this thread was pulled up by the above poster, I would disagree with APGuru. IB is acceptable by most ivies…including Harvard. However, you must get the highest score (7) to get placement out of intro lvl courses. Now, don’t think that ivies take any less than a (5) for an ap student even. So, you can see that IB score acceptance is translated back to AP for AP students. You’re at no disadvantage if you take IB. In fact, you have more options with IB because you can apply to European & U.S. universities. Concerning the matter on how to get a 7…well I think the average indian student is good at memorizing and writing essays…right? IB is quite suited to indians/asians because you know EXACTLY what will be tested. With AP, it can be abstract…it may be easy…but IB is easier because the study guides provide a straight route. Only the person who studied for just one night would get any lower than a 5. Additionally, I would not undermine the education received from an IB track. In fact, I recently discovered that you can get out of more courses through an IB subject than an AP subject at some top schools…given that you scored highly enough. If you are on the IB track and you want to give the AP a chance, by no hesitation, do so. I did AP and IB, and it was crazy…but not impossible. Atleast you would still be studying less hours than for the JEE stuff. This is because you study the same subject (ex: Bio) but test under two different exam formats.</p>
