AP stands for Advanced Placement and is the highest advanced level there is. Honors is the step just below AP, and isn't as high pressured. Honors still is very challenging, however.
What does the ap in 'ap biology' mean?
AP stands for Advanced Placement. An AP course is similar to an honors course, but college credit can be awarded to students who score high enough on an end-of-the-year AP exam.
Can homeschooled students take AP classes?
Yes, home schooled students can take an AP class from a parent/teacher who has had a course syllabi approved by the college board. Any home school student can decide to take a class that follows an approved course syllabi or just simply study for an AP exam on his or her own. Any student can sign up to take an AP exam each Spring whether or not the student has taken the course for which the AP exam is designated.
Does it look better to get a B in an AP-GT course or an A in an Honors course?
It is better to get a B in an AP class then an A in an Honors class, just as it is better to get a B in an Honors class then an A in a College Prep class. When colleges look at your application, they want to know that you are challenging yourself and taking hard classes, because they are essentially looking to see how well you will do in their school. AP classes are considered to be tougher then Honors classes, because AP classes are introductory college classes that are taken during high school- that's why some colleges give credit for a high enough AP test score. However, Honors classes are really just advanced high school classes. Grade reviews done for college entrance are done in an 'over-all' manner. The amount of honors classes taken will be noted and average GPA. Other classes will be looked at, and also that GPA. Individual classes are very seldom picked out to review grades, unless you are seeking to enter a very specialized field, and have taken many college prep classes in that area as honors classes. Most high schools do not offer enough 'specialized' prep classes for specific college interest.

How will taking AP and honors classes weight your GPA if it was 2.8 and you take three AP and two honors courses?
AnswerHonors classes look great on a college application and expose you to a higher level of learning. If you are willing to do the extra work, an honors/AP class is the right place for you. The honors/AP classes are weighted higher so they will boost your grade up one letter score; the letter grade increase will be present in your GPA. When you take these classes colleges tend to pay more attention to you rather than other students affiliated with standard courses.
Is taking AP French AP English AP US History Honors Pre-Calculus Physics Religion and Latin too much for Junior Year?
That depends entirely on the student's academic abilities. Some students can handle that course load while others can't. Three advanced placement courses, two foreign language courses and an honors math course does seem to be a lot, but the rewards could be considerable. It would be wise to speak with the school counselors or administrators about the possibility of transferring from an AP course to a standard course if the course load proves to be too much. If a transfer is not possible, selecting a more modest curriculum may be prudent.
What college gives you credit for Pre-AP courses?
Colleges only award credit to Advanced Placement courses (AP). Pre-AP is generally considered equivalent to "honors" courses. Some high schools may add points to one's GPA but it will probably not get you credit for college. Pre-AP is preparation to take a real AP course. Though you will not get college credit, it would still help you if you took a Pre-AP or honors class. It would help accustom you to the harder work that you will face in college.
What is a D in an honors course?
In most honors courses, in order to earn a D, one must have at least 60% in the class, although there are some exceptions (for example in my algebra II/trig honors class, we must have 65% or higher to earn a D). In an honors class, a D is worth 1 point in your GPA, unlike an AP course, in which a D would be worth 2 points in your GPA.
What are AP art classes?
