Can someone explain briefly what is the AP(Advanced Placement Program) please!!

[girl_92]

i guess thts a test which ur uni wuld take b4 they admit u
google it dude im sure ull get ur ans

[Saladin]

AP is the equivalent to the A level, infact a copy of it cuz Americans cant make good tests, its just like A level but a million times easier. So like its like doing AS hard stuff!

[@d!_†oX!©]

but some uni's require AP rather than A levels or better if both....u have any idea bout that??

@dude...can u tell me where in india are u from?hv got some doubts dude...hope u can help me out

[Monica]

I thought AP is harder than A-levels...a very close person to me is going AP...i will ask him abt it tom maybe 

[Saladin]

I dont think they offer AP in India, and the teachers are very expensive.

Anyways it is only available to Americans.

What u r talking abt is APID.

APID is a side-line certificate that shows that u r very talented to Americans, it is not a substitute for A LEVELS.

It is a bit like Cambridge Pre-U.

But anyways, it gives u extra credits if u apply to an American Uni.

ANd yes APID tchrs are bloody hard to find so ur gonna have to follow and learn thru the syllabus, or get a specialist, like  pro at the sub who can teach u anything. I personally think APID as hard IG to be honest wid u. take a look at the attatch.

THat really did help alot dude.... +reped ya
By the way cud u tell me more about where to get the resources and all...
and as u r saying d AP is only in america...so how do the non-americans do that
i mean.....if u see the requirements for MIT, u'd find that  they require an AP to give us a credit....and then most of the students in MIT are non-americans...then how do they manage all that??

[Saladin]

They have A-levels or IB along with APID. thats all. And no they are not non-americans, they are immigrants or very talented ppl offered a seat by the american embassies of their countries to study in MIT, and since nobody in the right mind would turn that down, there are a lot of foreigners in MIT. This is an excerpt of what it required, and what it says about GCE A Levels. I have to repeat that it is not a must to do AP or APID.

International Examination Credit

Please note that international examination policies currently listed on this page apply specifically to the class of 2013, entering MIT in fall 2009. Policies may change for subsequent classes, including the admitted class of 2014.

NOTE: If you receive credit for a specific MIT subject and subsequently register for the same subject, the credit originally awarded is void.

G.C.E. "A" Level

Listed below are current policies on how G.C.E. “A” Level credit is recognized based on the exam subject and resulting grade. Note that credit for A-level work cannot be applied to an MIT academic record until the official G.C.E certificates are presented to the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming. Unofficial reports will not be accepted in lieu of official certificates. If you will not receive your official certificates until later in the academic year, please notify UAAP when you arrive on campus.

See below for specific information on receiving credit in the following areas:

    * Biology:  No credit is given for A-level Biology. To receive credit for 12 units of 7.012, 7.013, or 7.014, Introductory Biology, you must pass the Biology Advanced Standing Examination administered during Orientation

    * Chemistry: No credit is given for A-Level Chemistry. To receive credit for 12 units of 5.111, Principles of Chemical Science, students must pass the Advanced Placement (Advanced Standing) exam administered during freshman orientation.

    * Computer Science: No credit is given for A-level computer science examinations.

    * Mathematics: For a grade of "A" or "B" in A-Level Mathematics, credit will be given for 12 units of subject 18.01, Calculus I. For grades lower than B, no credit is given.

    * Physics: For a grade of "A" in A-Level Physics, credit will be given for 12 units of subject 8.01, Physics I, and you may enroll in subject 8.02 or 8.022 (Physics II). For grades lower than A, no credit is given.

    * Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences: For a grade of "A" on applicable humanities-related A-Level examinations, credit will be given for 9 general elective units. Note that credit earned from G.C.E “A” Levels does not satisfy any part of the HASS Requirement. For grades lower than A, no credit is given.
