<p>Hope you did well at the time; it looks impressive. We have to take honors prerequisites were I live to take the AP version, and the highest math one can do when they start freshman year here is Geometry/Math II. It sucks. Did you take more Journalism (2, etc.) later on? How long were APs at your school?</p>
<p>This is what I took:
H Geometry
Biology
World History
PE/Health
French 2
H Algebra 2
H English Lang & Lit</p>
<p>Chem
Geometry Hnrs
English
Spanish
Computer Programming
Engineering
Business
Gym</p>
<p>
When did you take French 1? Were any of these classes prerequisites? </p>
<p>NorthwesternHPME, did you not have any Honors courses available for freshman?</p>
<p>Bio–>prereq to AP bio
H alg 2 and H geom–> prereq to H precalc & trig
World hist–>required
PE/Health–>required
French 2–> took french 1 in middle school

<p>They had block scheduling, with four different one-credit classes each semester. A lot of my classes freshman year were half-credit classes (and gym was only one-fourth-credit), so there are more than eight. </p>
<p>There were honors classes, but I didn’t take them because I was in a different district in eighth grade and I didn’t have the prerequisites. I probably could have gotten out of them if I’d asked, but I didn’t care much about school back then. </p>
<p>I like how my name follows the format too. I feel like a class you took with the “–>”.
Anyways, I’m in eighth grade. </p>
<p>@ulzzang - I made all As through the year, though just about everyone at my school takes APES as a freshman. . Shame that J1 and the Business Tech class weren’t honors though. APs are the full year.</p>
<p>I’m technically in Journalism 3 now, though it is really just a mixed newspaper class. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue after this year, as while chronology would be good on a college app, 6 APs is incredibly tempting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So, you had to take more gym-related classes? I’m confused #-o </p>
<p>We had to take two one-fourth-credit gym classes, one freshman year and one sophomore year. </p>
<p>@observeraffect they have “@” use on here now? whoa. Did the APs count as two crds?</p>
<p>@Halyconheather - Gym being a fourth of a credit sounds like it was terrible. Did you have to take it for a full half of the year?</p>
<p>@ulzzang - The @ is really more to notify who you’re talking to, but it does make threads more readable. The APs were 1 credit. I just wish that I would have gotten a five in APES (Got a 4, though most of my class did terribly, which from what I understand really angered the teacher, who has had two 2s before last year), though I did get a 5 in APHUG.</p>

<p>Since we had block scheduling, one-credit academic classes lasted for half the year, but you only took four classes every day. A half-credit class lasted for a fourth of the year, and then you’d switch to a different half-credit class in the middle of the semester. Gym worked the same as a half-credit class, except it was only worth a fourth of a credit. I’m not sure why, unless maybe it was because we had to take two gym classes (rather than just one like with the other required non-academic classes) and they wanted them to combine to make a half credit. </p>
<p>@JamieH - How was Accounting? And why is Health and Photography grouped with PE? Is Health and Photography a half year course or am I just confused?</p>
<p>@halcyonheather
That sounds terrible. I only have it for nine weeks.
@observeraffect
We have it so they count as two credits. So you can only take 4 APs a year.</p>
