Making the world better, one answer at a time. Well usually typical honor classes do not affect your GPA. However, AP/IB classes usually give you an extra point if you pass. i.e. if you get an A in AP US History, you will receive a 5.0 for that class compared to a 4.0 for a regular class.or regular classes grades have points A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 For Honors classes you add half a point and for AP classes you add a full point Then you calculate GPA in normal way.
Colleges will be able to see your grades in specific classes and exactly how you ended up with your current GPA. Taking an easy elective will raise your GPA quickly, but it's kind of like putting a band aid on a stab wound. It absolutely doesnât mean you should stop trying to raise your grades in core classes.
