Hi everyone, I’m an exchange student from the ISE program. I’ll be in grade 11 next school year. I intend to take AP courses to have a better scholarship opportunities(I want to apply into private high schools after finishing my exchange year). So should I take AP courses? Are they really dificult for international students??
Please answer me!!! Thank you in advance
Where did you get your information that AP scores will give you scholarship opportunities?
From the channels on youtube I guess. Beside that, you should have TOEFL/ IELTS scores, ACT/SAT scores. Is that correct??
I have yet to hear that taking AP classes will give you scholarships. Give a link about the AP scholarships. This is news to me.
As an international student you would need to take the TOEFL and get whatever the school requests. ACT/SAT scores are a requirement at most colleges.
Maybe your country sponsors those scholarships?
Well, I’ve heard that if you take AP courses(together with ACT/SAT and IELTS/TOEFL scores) you’ll have a higher chance to receive the scholarships from private high schools. Have you ever taken AP courses before?? Should I take AP courses in my next school year because I don’t think that I’m good enough at English to understand all of the lessons
I took AP courses many years ago. My children took AP courses not too long ago. They require a lot of reading and keeping up with the reading. If you are a good student, they are doable.
Well, I intend to take Psychology and Macro in the next school year. How do you think about it? Is it too difficult for international students? I think that I’m a good student, but I’m afraid that my English skills aren’t good enough to keep up with AP courses and I have also need time to get used to the environment and the education system in the US (I’m from Vietnam and my country’s education system is really different you know)
Look online and find a sample of a test question for psych. See if you can figure out the answers.
You could take math and science AP 's, as they might overlap with content you know in your own language?
Ap. Psychology should be okay.
