I just moved from Toronto to Seattle, and recently registered at my new school.

I’m going to be a sophmore this year and have no idea what honors/AP courses are about. And my counselor didn’t exactly help, other than stating the obvious.

In Canada I was taking all Academic courses, and had straight A’s. I’m not too worried about tons of homework, but more of: if the course material will be over my head, and I can’t handle it.

So basically, for anyone who has been in this position, I’m wondering about the differences in difficulty of American (honors/AP) classes, compared to my old Canadian (academic) classes.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Andie
