Nothing is difficult if you like it, and its applicable.

AP--Advanced Placement--was developed as a way to get bright and motivated high school students more challenging work. Taking the AP classes supposedly gives kids more academic work, greater challenges, and extends learning past the typical high school class. If you take the AP exams--standardized examinations--and get above a certain score then colleges accept this as "credits" toward college subjects. Its not uncommon for students to come to college with 3-12 AP credits that let them skip introductory level courses in college.

The AP classes require a lot of reading and from what I have seen a lot more work than actually taking the college course.  The year end exam is difficult and no gurantee you'll get college credit even if you got As in the class.  I do not mean to discourage you from taking the class, but in our area, kids can taken actual college classes at the community college for free.  After one semester (not a whole year), if you pass the class you get the credit...it isn't all up to one test.\n\nJust my opinion.

My daughter took the ACT last June when she was 15 (scored a 28, thank you very much), she says yes there is a fair amount of algebra but it is not hard.  She did not take a prep class, I got her a study guide and she worked through it, concentrating on the sections she had trouble with.  The one I got her was the ARCO guide; she says to let you know that ACT For Dummies is worthless.  Good luck, don't let it overwhelm you.  You'll be just fine.\n(5/22) - the kid says concentrate on the science section, that part of the ACT is hard.

It depends on how hard you have been working. If you have been working your butt off then it is a good grade. Honors classes are hard. Also, they are weighted more than a regular class is. a "C" os really a "B" in terms of the grade point. So instead of getting a 2.0 in that class you really got a 3.0. I hope that made sense. Good luck! Remember,the semester isn't over yet so you still have time to bring it up if you aren't happy with it.

All depends on the student.  My advise, don't take the easiest for you.  School is for learning, knowledge is power.  Take something that will challenge you.

It is for sure pretty tough. But if the condition insists, I think the key word is time management. Therefore, take no full time job and not so many class in the same time.

Preperation for college is never easy for a highschool student, and thats exactly what ap classes are preping you for.  On a scale from one to ten ten being the hardest, honors is a 4 in comparrison to AP which is an 7.  Get ready to work hard, but id say try it out because it is an amazing expierence for someone who wants to go to college, and also it looks good on a resume for colleges. Its more studying and harder grading from teachers, but you won't regret it in the long run.  That's not to say you won't sometimes feel overwhemlmed and a little regretful while taking the class.  But afterwards you'll be happy you took the challenge. and so will your parents because you're bound to do great in college.

AP stands for Advanced Placement. This means that the course is taught on a college level. Therefore, the regular course would be easier than the AP one. \nLuckily, with the AP course, you may test to get college credit. With a normal course, you probably won't.

All of the required classes(except math). They obviously have some harder assignments but for the most part I just sleep through them and then improvise later. If you think about it all required classes are is the same thing over and over again. So, save everything you do in class and you'll be able to use it repeatidly. That's probably why I can't spell or use grammer worth crap.\nI acctually have taken easier electives, but the thing is I only take electives that acctually mean something to me so I work harder in them than my core classes. By the way this is for High School. Oh, and I have a 3.5 GPA so I think that's proof enough that core classes are simple.

okay, trust me, if you're too lazy to write a paragraph, then AP european history is not for you. and it shouldn't be a hard thing to do. just BS your way through it. "i feel like i could learn a lot, regular classes don't challenge me enough, i'm really interested in the renaissance, blah, blah, blah." no one's will actually be sincere. if you care enough about school to want to be in the class, i'm sure you can do it.

Be sure to start paying attention very well in class as well as completing the homework if you haven't already. Ask some people who completed the course(s) before you so you can know what to expect on the test. I'm nervous about my AP World History exam, but I was assured by the juniors that it's not big deal and that their scores were high. So I'm not as nervous. Good Luck!

Algebra can get difficult but i get used to it and i grasped it pretty quickly.  But when i first learn some of the concepts i need to do the homework and look at it for a while.  Then, it just sticks to me.  I can understand how people can find it really confusing and difficult.

4.9 because of AP classes.

My friend took some online classes from UOP, and said that they were quite hard. I'm not sure if they're accredited or not.

4.0 if you are taking standard classes. Some of the college prep classes (they called them A.P. - advanced placement - when I was in school) award an extra point for each grade (i.e., A = 5 pts. instead of 4 pts.). So someone in the advanced classes could have a better than 4.0 GPA if they get all As or they can get a few Bs and still have a 4.0 GPA.

depends on what courses you like and dislike, the best to take is the hardest courses that you can, such as honors and A.P., particularly in the subjects that you like and are strong in, as well as a few intersting extracurricular courses that you do or might enjoy...\nfor me, the best are all my AP courses this year and last: english, us history, government, chem, spanish, calculus and physics; the hardest by far is calculus, followed by physics\nhope that helps...
