  1. If the AP classes are honored at your choice college take 'em. It'll save you time and money later. I took both and didn't notice a difference in difficulty.


  2. AP classes are only good for you if you pass them with a decent grade and then pass the final AP test with a decent grade.

    If you're not planning to take the AP test at the end of the year, then it's probably best to transfer out.  But it's either pay $80+ dollars now to take a chance at the test rather than the $300 (and higher) that you'll be paying out in college to take the certain class(es) needed for your generals.

    Like I took AP U.S. History and took the AP test and got a four I think, which opted me out of like four or five history classes.  All in all a lot of money and time.

    But like I said, if you don't think you have a chance at passing the AP test, or you just don't want to take it, then probably better to take an Honors class.  I can tell you one thing though, now that I'm in college I certainly don't regret taking AP classes.

  3. It certainly looks better to colleges if you take AP. However, if you don't plan on taking the time to actually do the work and subsequently fail the class then go with the Honors level.

  4. i have honors and its the same as ap they do the same for you
