What's the Difference Between Regular and AP® Courses?

The main difference between the regular/honors versions of a course and the AP® version:

The AP® courses are simply modified versions of our standard and honors courses. They are designed specifically for students planning to take College Board's AP® Exam in that subject. If a student is not planning to take the AP® Exam, we recommend the standard or honors version of the course instead, as they contain material not covered in the AP® Exam.
