<p>So UT Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering has this ' Calculus Readiness Requirement ' in which all applicants must show that they are eligible for the school of engineering.
The options are:</p>

<p>If your marksheet can say that you've acheived a grade 'C' or better in a pre-college calculus course.</p>

<p>If you score 80 or above in ALEKS test which is a online test and you can give it anywhere anytime.</p>

<p>Now here in India ( CBSE ) we've a pretty much solid foundation in Calculus i.e we are taught Integral and Differential calculus.
There' no way we can tell them this. My marksheet of class 12th just lists Mathematics - Score out of 100. ( coz I am 12th pass )
There's no way I can tell them that my school taught advanced Calculus and that I had a score in it.</p>

<p>It would be gr8 if fellow applicants would tell me what they are doing.</p>

<p>They are generally familiar with the Indian course curriculum. If not, then too you ought not expect any problem wrt that as the Indian course curriculum is reputed for its rigor.
If you’re very worried, you could have your counsellor write a note but I really don’t think it’s necessary as loads of Indians apply to UT Austin.</p>

<p>^ Yeah, that’s what I had in mind. They must be familiar and all.
But they say your application would not be reviewed for the school of Engineering if you don’t submit a calculus readiness proof.</p>

<p>P.S My school does not have a counsellor and my princi and math teachers already submitted their reccos.</p>
