The Indian Thread (TiT) # 16

<p>I thought you were leaving Kumara :D</p>

<p>hiya guys!</p>

<p>Ah, well I'll just call them up tomorrow to be sure the deadline has passed. It's better to take it if we can get credit for it at a univ right?</p>

<p>Hi Shreya :D</p>

<p>Its offered in AIS Chennai, that's where I'm taking it, but I'm not sure about AES Delhi, I wanted to take it there since I live here, but for some reason I couldn't (I think they didn't let me, but I seem to have forgotten, damn memory.)</p>

<p>Oh, you coming to Chennai then Abhinav? :D Nice! I know its offered here. But I dont know if I am going to take it. Dont think I will</p>

<p>Why not? Don't think its worth the money?</p>

<p>I am not sure man. Depends, if I have time I will. Its definitely worth the money, no doubt. But then I already have so many entrance examinations up my sleeve, I dont know if I will find time to write this or do justice to the exam if I decide to write it without proper prep</p>

<p>so can you still register for it now?</p>

<p>I think you can. For some of it being registered end of May. Will check and let ya know Shreya</p>

<p>thanks!
I want to see if i can take them.</p>

<p>@shruthi: Well, even if you're half-prepared for the JEE, then Calculus BC, Physics C (both papers) and Chemistry will be a breeze, so I suggest you register if you still can.</p>

<p>Get in touch with Tom Meyers at the AIS, he's the AP co-ordinator there. Some schools allow late registration and some dont, so ask.</p>

<p>Also, there are some sneaky agents who can arrange AP exams at schools which offer the AP curriculum but arent that well known, but they charge almost double the actual cost. I got a price of about Rs. 3300 per exam from AISC, which is about the same as the CollegeBoard sets it.</p>

<p>Here are the contact details in case you need it:</p>

<p>American</a> International School-Chennai</p>

<p>@ shruthi: if you get in MPSC( C?Decision?) then dropping the entrances and taking the AP, CLEP or/and IB would be loads better I think. What say?</p>

<p>Last date for registration is the 15th.</p>

<p>You might not want to name a thread tit, of all things.</p>

<p>Niiice! That makes me, rama_GB and Abhinav who're taking the AP's here. Abhinav - which subjects?</p>

<p>@shruthi: Definitely contact Tom Meyers ASAP through email, or just call up the school if you want - they're nice people, and this would be a faster way. I think that the deadline is past, not sure though...don't take my word on this.</p>

<p>@Abhinav and tetris: Thanks Abhinav! :D I'd definitely call them up right away. I was just a little hesitant about the whole thing, 'cos I wasnt sure if I had prepared enough to take them. But yeah, I think I will now anyway. Will call them up :) Thanks</p>

<p>@Libin: Provided I get into one of them, yes, the obvious choice would be to write the AP's, but still...</p>

<p>@tetris and Abhinav, thanks!</p>

<p>stupid question alert: do we have to be half-prepared for IIT to take the Calculus BC and Physics C or is the CBSE syllabus enough? :S :rolleyes: Even if it isn't, I'm guessing one month time to study for them is enough?</p>
