What Our Students are SayingAbout Honors and AP
You must be disciplined.
You cannot procrastinate.
Be prepared if you werent in honors last year to receive lowergrades. Its a huge jump in the amount of work and the level of
difficulty (this came from a student in general English lastyear).
Be willing to get teacher help early on.
Time management is crucial.
Not one night assignments anymorehave to have a schedule
and plan (you have a month where you are working on severalprojects at once).
Dont take it just to have it look good on your transcriptyouhave to want it.
