<p>Hey guys. I'm at an only-IB school and am planning on taking AP Psychology online this fall. It's a half year, half credit course. I was wondering - would taking an extra AP class boost my GPA? Most people are telling me that it does boost your GPA, but others who I've asked are pretty skeptical. If it won't help my GPA, I was thinking about just self-studying.</p>
<p>You have a weighted and unweighted GPA. Whether it gives you the boost or not, they’ll always have a GPA with no boosts. Which means they’ll look at the class itself. My vote is if it’s online, it’s kind of like a self study anyway, so I vote take the class!</p>
<p>Will it help my weighted GPA at all? Yeah, I figured the course would be akin to self-studying, but I really don’t spend the money to take it online unless it’ll help my GPA. </p>
<p>As a side note, does anyone know a good textbook for studying AP US Govt and Politics?</p>
<p>It depends on your school. :D</p>
<p>Ah, okay. I’ll shoot my counselor an email then!</p>
<p>But is there really a possibility that it wouldn’t help my GPA at all?</p>
