In my school, you'll take ap classes until grade 12, when you get into your college course. Those advanced classes before are pretty much pure level courses, except with a bit more information, more thinking questions and a unit from the next course tacked on at the end! The good thing though, is that you'll write the pure final exams, so chances are pretty high that you'll ace it! Grade 12 is your college course, where you'll take a final exam for it sometime in May, where they give you a mark from 1-5, which determines if your course will be used for college credits! I haven't heard of haveing to pay any money for the test, but I suppose it's different wherever you go! Oh, and I have no idea what GPA means so I won't know about that!
I'm taking calculus next year after going through all the other ap courses and I'm actually really excited! Ap IS harder than regular pure courses, but that will just prepare you so much better for the final exams! Lol, and the classes are always so much more fun because teachers tend to trust you way more, and you usually (or at least in my school you do) get put with the same class from gr. 10 through to 12! I would totally advise taking it, since if you don't like it you can always switch out, where as you can not transfer up into it! And in my class I only know one person who is scoring below 70%. Most people are in 80 range. You just learn that you've got to actually do your homework to get good marks!

So I got into calculus class today and we talked this all over....it costs $80-some if the teacher doesn't reccomend you. So our teacher will reccomend students to take the international exam if they score an adverage of 80% or higher during the course! They write it in the first week of May, and then we're doing anything in calc 31 not covered by the ap course! And then we write the math 31 test, but it should be really really easy since you know most of it and apparently it's just simple calculus!! biggrin
