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.

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 accelerated classes the same as ap or honors?

Generally speaking, 'accelerated' classes are in fact the same as 'A.P.' (that is, advanced placement) or 'Honors' classes. While some differences in specialized contexts might be found, the increasingly common use of 'accelerated' in today's educational settings is not typically intended to have a new meaning but, instead, to serve as a more inclusive and otherwise acceptable label for such 'advanced/honors' classes.
