<p>^ the question says it all. I am specifically referring to world history and microeconomics.</p>
<p>i kno the science and math AP’s are cakewalks for indians but i was not sure bout the rest.</p>
<p>Definitely :)</p>
<p>Provided you have the AP books, and you study well enough, there’s no reason why you wouldn’t be able to get a 5. Do you take either eco or history at your school?</p>
<p>whats the full form of AP here?
does that have anything to do with before getting into the university?
can you please explain?
sorry if this is too stupid.
thank you.</p>
<p>Ap= Advanced placement
It provides you credit at top schools (most accepts 4s/5s) which will help you graduate early, or fulfill general ed requirements. Although I wouldn’t suggest graduating out of college early is great under the world economy…it didn’t have a good rep before, and I def don’t see why it should have a good rep at current. Ivies accepts scores of 5s to place you into higher courses…but note that they do not give you CREDIT for the courses you skip in the process of placement. In the U.S. we have levels that stratify a single course. The standard runs slow for those that can’t handle too quick material (that’s fine if you want to absorb the material well), the honors is a more advanced version and is considered hard, and advanced placement class is designed to be extremely hard/challenging…depeding on what school you go to. It has college level instruction and so a company took advantage of that and decided to reward high schoolers by providing a standardized test that can evaluate the readiness of an applicant in a specific subject. So you see, it is designed for americans. Since international schools for most part don’t stratify each course by student ability, it is clear that AP is quite a new concept for many. If someone wants to take an AP test…just be clear on the fact that the score is permanent. You have a week after all exms are over to erase a mark (you won’t know what it is) if you thought you did absolutely horrible. But, yes you can do extremely well if you study and read the guide for the AP subject. I would recommend the princeton/kaplan/barrons books. Barron is quite descriptive and you will note that by the number of pages that are included. Princeton is straight to the point and has more of analysis. Kaplan–quite frankly, i’ve never used this but I’ve heard good things about it.</p>
<p>the type of book brand depends on the subject you will be testing. You should use barrons for world history, just because you need the description. Microeconomics, you can’t go wrong with any one of the brands.</p>
<p>@Contradict – i’m in 11th grade(icse) i take economics presently and had taken history upto class 10.</p>
