Honors classes
New classes default to Honors (+0.5). Add your regular and AP classes to get your full weighted GPA.
Most schools add half a point for Honors: A = 4.5, B = 3.5, C = 2.5. Some schools treat Honors like AP and add 1.0 — pick “Honors +1.0” under School scale.
Honors weighting rewards the extra work without needing an AP exam, which makes it a common choice for freshman and sophomore year.

Usually 0.5 points, so an A in Honors is worth 4.5. Some schools add a full 1.0 point — switch the school scale above the calculator if yours does.
AP usually adds more (+1.0 vs. +0.5) and can earn college credit through the exam. Honors is a good step up when AP isn't offered or feels like too much.
Yes. Colleges look at how challenging your schedule is, and Honors classes show you're pushing yourself.
