[quote=Anonymous] The difference is MAJOR. "Honors" are what the state curriculum makes of it. But AP exam scores are the only way colleges can compare students across high schools and state curriculae, along with SAT/ACT scores. AP classes are suppose to be the nec plus ultra of high school classes (apart from really well done IB classes and magnet classes). Sometimes, in certain high schools, AP teachers are not up to par, and students are surprised by low scores on the exams, which are organized and score by an independent private company, the College Board, of SAT fame. So from a college admissions perspective, it's AP all the way, as long as your student gets at least a 4 on the exam. If this subject is his passion, then he will do well and colleges will see he has a special interest in it. In MCPS, my son did AP US Gov with NSL in 9th, AP US History in 10th, plans to take AP World History in 11th and then perhaps AP European History (or whatever it's called). [/quote]
