<p>Mr. Sinister: Ann is right. My plebe is now taking English Literature. You may not be doing yourself any favors by dropping it for AP Art History. From what I heard from my daughter’s friends AP Art History is every bit as tough. Also, if you take AP Eng. Lit., you may be able to validate out of the Eng. Lit. class at WP. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that just because classes are worth 6.0, that doesn’t mean that all the students can earn straight A’s. My daughter earned mostly B’s, with a few A’s and C’s while in the IB program. As in most everything else, there are always going to be people with better grades and worse grades than you. </p>
<p>And Ann was totally dead-on right - it is all about time management.</p>
<p>Just a note: Most colleges take the unweighted grade of each Eng., history, math, science, and foreign language class and then apply a formula. At Univ. of FL (Go, Gators!) it is 1/2 point for honors classes and 1 point for AP/IB classes. Each university has their own formula, so you need to ask when comparing colleges.</p>
