S7R1K3R, i have some info for you. As for myself, I had been making straight A's all through my school life. I am a 10th grader this year and decided to take AP World History. At the beginning, everyone was petrified becasue of the amount and difficulty of the work, however a little past midway through the year, we are feeling much more comfortable. If you plan to take AP and Honors classes, you CANNOT make lower than a C, that would defeat the puropse and if colleges see that low of a grade, they will put your name at the bottom of the stack. PM me if I can be of any more help.
oh, and what state do you live in?
