[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of this will be school-dependent, but generally it is good to take a couple AP or IB classes in 9th and 10th. Otherwise they will be bored by the content in Honors. Some schools now have AP Seminar available as an alternative to Hon English 10. AP Gov in 9th, then APUSH in 10th is a good pathway if your school provides it. Honors Algebra 2 and Honors Precalc can be tough classes. AP Computer Science [i]Principles[/i] is also good for 9th graders, because it's not hard, it counts as a tech credit, and gives them some experience with an AP exam.[/quote] There’s a poster who keeps saying AP CS principles isn’t that hard, yet only 12 pct of students nationwide get 5s on that exam. Setting a 9th grader up for a suboptimal AP score should be done with a lot of careful consideration.[/quote]
