<p>What are the requirements for this award, I can't seem to find it. I thought it was at least 8 AP's but I am not sure. I took 2 junior year and am hopingto take 5 classes and 1 self study exam to make the 8</p>
<p>Is there anything special about the award because I know colleges won't see it because the application process will obviously be done.</p>
<p>Well, you're right about the fact that colleges won't see it. It's pointless then. Don't take the tests unless you need the credits, or love the subjects.</p>
<p>national ap scholar = 8 tests with scores of 4 or 5, and cumulative average of atleast 4.0 of ALL tests.</p>
<p>if you have 9 tests with 4/5 on 8 of them and an average greater than 4 does that count?</p>
<p>yes thats the whole point.</p>
<p>It's only noteworthy if you get it before senior year, and even more impressive if you get it before junior year.</p>
<p>how many get it before junior year?</p>
<p>You can get it whenever you qualify for it?</p>
<p>So, if I will have taken 11 AP exams by the end of junior year and gotten 4's/5's on 8 of them, I should get the National AP Scholar Award after I get my scores the summer after junior year?</p>
<p>Is it based on AP Grades or AP exams? If I take an exam that has a subscore (music theory, calc bc), are the two scores averaged and weighted as one?</p>
<p>subscores are not included...</p>
<p>And you got me on the pre-junior National AP Scholar thing, lol. I'd take a gander and say less than 40 kids do that every year.</p>
<p>dont you only need 6 aps and get 4s or 5s on them?</p>
<p>no...its 8.</p>
<p>8 AP's .</p>
<p>what AP award do you get for like 5 or 6 APs and scores of 4/5 on them?</p>
<p>ap scholar with distinction or something like that.</p>
<p>its on collegeboard, just search for ap awards.</p>
