I'm confused....can somone explain what these 'Honors' things are. :shock: Is it some American thing? We just have applied and academic.

I'm going into Yr12 in England next year (I think we should put the country/state we live in because all these courses sound so complicted to me!!!)

I'm taking:

A Level English (Am I mad?! :shock: )
A Level Maths (I have come to the conclusion that yes, I must be :shock: :shock: )
A Level Pyscology
A Level Performing Arts

lol. Only a few schools offer the course. And my school doesn't do latin. It does Spanish, French and if they can get the teachers, Italian and German. I wanted to take Italian (s it's similar to spanish ) and my friends mum's trained to be an italian teacher, but she won't teach in high school because she thinks it's too loud

The only one i remember im tkaing is War Strategys ..

Wow, everyone here is so smart, if I take any advanced class, Im sure that I wont even be able to even get a D in it.

Im going to 9th grade next year so:

English 9
P.E 9
Word history 9
Geometry 1
Art
Foods
Biology (I'm not sure if I'm getting it or not)

I'm not exactly sure what courses I will be taking next year, but I have made a few choices:

Biology [this ones more of a last resort]
Business Studies
Economics [maybe]
Advanced English
Information, Procees and Technology [AKA Computing]
Software Design and Development
and then Maths and Religion are compulsory but I haven't picked what level of each that I want to do.

wow, i have absolutely no idea how those equate in australia, but they sound hard

for us aussies, we are halfway though our year, and its my final year *looks sad*

i'm taking:
english
chemistry
physics
discrete
applicable
political and legal studies

our system doesn't really seem to have the levels you are talking about, well for english there is english lit, which is tops, then english, then senior english, but not these 10/11 levels.

i get so easily confused anyway best of luck to everyone in getting into the course they want

World History-Honors-Gifted
English II- Honors-Gifted
Chemistry- Honors
Spanish I-(I would be in spanish II but the spanish classes flilled up to fast last year)
Camenia/Journalism II-Honors-Gifted (the Literary magazine)
Art II
Algebra II-Honors-Gifted

Algebra II is gonna kick my butt next year, I should have listened to the 10th grades and taken just plain Honors Algebra II. Supposdly "Honors" is easier that "Honors-Gifted" and it's added GPA weight is the same.

English
Maths
Science
Art & Design
Graphics
ICT - GSCE Course
Music


In England we work a little different :wink:

Going to 3rd year, so I'll be taking lots of Biol courses.. like genetics, microbiol, veterbrates .. etc.. I haven't planned my courses yet

Well, Next year I'll be in year 11, and so taking exactly the same courses that I am taking now

GCSE:
Art
Drama

English
English Literature
ICT

Science Double Award

I'm going into 8th grade next year. Classes I'm gonna be taking:

-Algebra I Honors
-American History
-Earth Science
-French I (hopefully, otherwise itll be Reading for 1/4 of the year and then change between Art, Home Ec, and Computer)
-English
-Tech Ed
-P.E.

I know I forgot one but can't think of what it is. Oh well.

Honors classes are like advanced classes, or classes for the "academically gifted", if you want to put it that way. Sorry, I'm not the best explainer in the world...

This is the list...

AP U.S. History (Heard it's VERY hard)
AP French IV
Honors Newspaper II
Art I
Pre-AP Algebra II
Individual Sports
AP English IV
Pre-AP or AP Physics (Forgot which one)

Yep, boy oh boy...
