Is it bad that I got a B as a term grade?
Term 1 ends next week and I have all A's in all ap classes except 1. I have a B+ (88%) in one class. If next term I get an A in the same class the 2 term grades will average out to be an A. But do colleges look at term grades or semester grades?

It depends. I believe that usually, colleges will only see your final semester grades. If you've seen a copy of your transcript, those are the grades they will see when they evaluate your academics. Regarding the B, it should be fine because colleges generally would rather see you get a B in a challenging class, rather than an A in an easy class. Because it is an AP class, and you're showing that you are challenging yourself, I think it will be fine. But, it shouldn't matter anyway, though, since it is not a final, semester grade. Hope this helps!
Getting a B+ in a hard class is pretty much the same as an A in an easy class. Colleges look at semester grades mostly. So it would probably show up as an A. I wouldn't worry to much, but you can ask your counselor or google to see how the colleges your applying to check grades and what grade would show up on your transcript.
A B+ Is good. you'll be ok.
