Checking for Ketones. Ketone is a chemical produced when there is a shortage of insulin in the blood and the body breaks down body fat for energy. Ketones in the urine is a sign that your body is using fat for energy instead of using glucose because not enough insulin is available to use glucose for energy. Ketones in the urine is more common in type 1 diabetes.
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.
Best Answer: I'm guessing that HPA is like a weighted GPA, so you get 5 points or something for an A in an AP or honors class. Admissions officers will probably look at the overall difficulty of coursework and grades, not really paying attention to either. If they do look at GPA, they'll calculate their own GPA, using the classes they want and weighting the grades as they see fit. If your school ranks however, the GPA will end up being more important if that is used for rank, and same with HPA, since class rank is also important for admissions. Source(s):
