[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just about GPA-- the Honors level courses just aren't challenging! (Plus, the honors classes count the same for GPA as the AP classes...)[/quote] Wrong. An Honors grade A is a 4.0 an AP grade A is a 5.0[/quote] Is that new? DC graduated 2 years ago and honors counted for 5.0 in the MCPS weighted grading system. OP, the normal AP track varies by school. At DCs school the freshman AP class is AP gov and then those kids almost all take APUSH in 10th grade. The other track is Honors US in 9th followed by AP Gov (and of course you can do honors or both too). They start with AP Gov because it's an easier class than APUSH and better suited for freshman.[/quote]
