Actually my county (Montgomery County Maryland) puts a large percentage of the High School Freshmen into AP US History. My son was placed in there originally and then transferred to a regular US History class because he couldn't stand the teacher. (He's since admitted that it was him not the teacher.). He actually took 8 AP classes and 9 AP exams during High school (Physics has two separate exams).
But you figure that at some schools with the concept of weighted GPA, it is one more point for a non-failing AP *or honors* class. The difference of .66 between weighted and non-weighted would mean that about 2/3 of the classes are AP/Honors which *is* within the realm of possibility.
(This other option is that Honors/AP classes are 25% more, so an Honors B is 3.75 rather than 4, but that complicates the math)
BTW, why the heck is this in the Greek History Forum?
