· Much deeper analysis of content and more independent thought
· Best college preparation we offer
· Additional 1.0 quality point towards GPA
How do I know if I’m ready to take an Honors or AP course?
· Do you quickly and easily grasp the concepts presented by your instructor?
· Do you ask questions or want to ask questions that go further or deeper than the presented material?
· Are you interested in the subject?
· Do you find you have extra time because you finish the homework quickly?
· Even if you have to work hard in the subject, do you enjoy it?
· Do you generally get high marks in your current class?
If most of your answers are a YES!, you should talk with your parent/guardian and your counselor about taking an Honors or AP course!

It is the responsibility of the student and parent to be aware if a college or university requires coursework for admission beyond what New Hanover Count Schools requires for graduation (for example, some out of state or private 4 year colleges require 2 semesters of the same foreign language, and some 4 year colleges require Chemistry over Physical science, or a 4th science). Admission requirements are most frequently posted on a school's undergraduate admissions web page.
