If you're sending both your high school transcript as well as your AP score report, I would place a check next to both internal and external examination systems just to be safe, and let the IBCC take care of the rest.

Your letter grades on your high school transcript are considered as part of an "internal examination" system while your AP scores are considered as part of an "external examination" system.

ok, but if i check both things then how would IBCC know, whether to deduct 10 ponts or 20 ponits from my equivalence marks?

I don't think they deduct marks solely based on what you've checked off on your form. They go through and see what types of transcript(s)/score report(s) you have and then deduct the appropriate number of marks. I don't have any data to back this up, but I think the checking thing is just to speed up the process if possible (say, if you don't have any AP scores and just a transcript, in which case you could just check off "internal examination" so they don't have to bother factoring in AP scores).

Yes, you would be enrolled for the next session of classes, but most schools in Pakistan have a Jan-Dec school year. Last year KE started on January 2nd.

Wait until you get a single AP score report with all scores listed on them. They will accept your AP English grade. I'm not sure about the World History and Calculus scores, as they aren't listed as part of the required subjects under the IBCC pre-medical subject guidelines.

Correct. All government colleges base foreign student admissions solely off of their IBCC certificate. Therefore foreigners do not need to take entrance tests, SATs or any other test for admission.

I never applied to government schools, I went the private route so I can't really help you out in terms of that. However, any one you ask will tell you the same thing --- we can't predict whether or not that's good enough, the competition is increasing every year so really it depends on what everyone else's scores are and how you stack up against them.
