Should I go to the harder class or the easier class in high school?

I go to an exceedingly challenging school and am very smart let me tell you. I have gotten A's in all class in my middle school career except in Mathematics. I've been in a higher class and think it's a little too late to lag back now and have gotten low B's and C's in that class. Now, I'm moving up to high school and am not sure if i should be in the honors class or the accelerated class (accelerated is the easier). I'm signed up for honors, but I have the highest classes in the grade, along with sports and things outside of school, I'm not sure I can handle it.


But I very, very, VERY much would like to go to an Ivy League school. I'm convinced that the only difference between Honors and accelerated is the work load (honors has a heavier one, and I'm pretty sure that it's just the comprehension I don't get). I'm planning to get a tutor if I stick with the honors class but, I really don't know which one I should go with.


Input, please??

Should I go to the harder class or the easier class in high school?
As a Pre-Advanced Placement teacher of ninth graders, my advice is to try the more challenging class. At the beginning of the year, I find that my classes have students who aren't sure whether or not an advanced class is for them or not, but most decide to commit themselves to the work (and no, that does not necessarily mean MORE homework---more thought-provoking or analytical, yes, but not necessarily more) and remain in the course.





My school has a "try it out" policy that allows students to try the class for the first grading period and if it's not working out, then the student is welcome to transfer to an on-level ("regular") class for on-level/regular class (not Pre-AP/AP weighted credit for that semester). Students who stay are there for the semester or for the remainder of the course. Call the school's registrar or guidance counselor and ask what the school's policy is. It would also be helpful to ask how the more advanced classes are weighted into your GPA. Advanced classes often carry a higher weight, so even though that student in the less challenging class earned an "A" and you earned a "B" in the more challenging class, then it's likely to weight/count as an "A"--and on top of that grade---you've learned more too. It's likely that this information is in print in either the student handbook or if not, ask the registrar/counselor if you can either come by and pick up a copy or find a copy of it online.





Also, call or contact the admissions office of the college (s) you're interested in and let them know that you'd like to hear their suggestions on how applicants can help themselves to become prospective students there. They might be able to give you some guidance regarding your decision to take honors or accelerated class (just be sure you're clear in explaining the difference between the two other than "one's easier" when you explain---that's where the information from your school's course description may come in handy).
Reply:Since it's your first year?... right? you shouldn't take all of the HONORS AP CLASSES or whatever. Not that it's a bad thing, it's HIGH SCHOOL. It's another step of education. You won't have enough time to manage a lot of other things. Mainly 'cause of the numerous amounts of homework you will receive in HONORS classes. SO... I say... take a mixture of both. Take Honors in the subjects you find the easiest. Accelerated in the harder.
Reply:there are o easier or harder classes. the requirement are spell out ,in order for you to graduate.


did i say that? LOL...
Reply:the harder class. it'll be the challenge for your brains.....
Reply:Well it depends on if they weight your grades when figuring your average. At my school I was able to get a 4.2 because I took all honors classes and got A's. Most places do that but if you get the same grade for less work then by all means take the path of least resistance. It's not lazy, it's smart. Personally I would go with the Honors because it looks better on a transcript and if you don't get an A in it people are forgiving especially when you have lots of extra curriculars. As far as Ivy League goes, I'd imagine if you exceed their minimums, write a good essay, and can afford them you'll be fine.
Reply:if you take harder classes, it'll look really good for colleges
Reply:take honors its not alot different than reg. they just give you more at home work.. you can do it :)
