i think you should take the academic physics. Your GPA wont go down because of that class. Obviously if you aren't getting As in that class that means you dont have a knack for that subject like you do in the AP courses you listed. Dont ruin your GPA because you want to be in an advanced class. Your AP classes will help you for college, forget the Physics honors.

If you are going to fail Honors Physics, drop it for a regular level Psysics class. While many say that a C in an honors course counts more, I doubt it. All a university looks at is your GPA...if you get a failing grade, it won't matter whether it was honors physics or basket weaving, an F is an F and it does incredible damage to the GPA. Unless you are confident in getting at least a low B in this honors course, drop it and replace it with something comparable in a lower or regular level in which you can get an A or high B and keep your GPA in good shape. You need to decide what field you are going to pursue in college, or at least where you are leaning, if you are going to be a Journalism major , honors physics won't mean a thing to the school of Journalism. Just something to consider. Good luck .

I am a teacher and when we do admissions it would be better to see A's in regular classes. Better yet A's in regular classes with some B's in the Honor classes you excel in. We understand you can't be an ace at everything but we really like to see top grades in regular classes and something that shows you are developing an area of expertise.
Good luck!!!

Hmm, not sure how the point system works. But I take it the A in the regular class is better than the C in the honors class?

A's in regular classes. Many schools do not weight the grades in honors so a "C" in honors is still a 2.0. Even if the grades are weighted, a "C" in honors is equivalent to a "B" in regular class.

In honors classes you bypass greater in intensity into the fabric. you in addition to could get a letter grade strengthen. So if to procure a B that's the resembling an A. thoughts you the artwork load won't be greater suitable than a common class, unquestionably its in many situations much less, yet you're predicted to bypass greater in intensity and are graded lots greater harshly.

C's in an honors class is failing in many school districts. Therefore, I would think making A's in a "regular ed" class would be more beneficial.

Getting As in regular classes is much better than getting Cs in honors(at least in my school it is)

Take a couple honors classes your decent in and if your realy trying your hardest and still not getting good grades it would be best to move into regular.

If you are in advanced classes, it seems to me that you are what the rest of the world would call college bound or college oriented. Now, my question to you is this, would UC Berkley accept a student who was in honors class but got a 2.79, or a "regular" student who scored a cumulative GPA of 3.99?
I think it's better to be in regular classes and get good grades then to be in an honors class and fail.
