PolarMan:

great questions…it’s my understanding that each school must write up its class content, etc., and send it in to UC for honors designation. First, I’ check with our GC an inquire. (But, please be aware, that our GC was flat out wrong in her determination of the UC credit.) Perhaps there is an admin error on the pathways website that your GC could get corrected.

I would suggest you e-mail the contact name at UCOP who could probably answer your question more thoroughly, or, just e-mail the adcom at whatever school to which you think you might be applying.

btw: in our school district, Honors Pre-Calc (no matter when taken) and AP Calc both count for the extra grade point. Prior to 2002, Honors AlgII used to receive an extra grade point only if it was taken during Freshman year. But that is no longer true.
