By what time do you need to have taken 8 AP courses with adequate scores? Before Senior year? I am a sophomore right now, and am only in APUSH, and I am not very talented in math or science ( my school offers 4 AP social sciences, and everything else is math/science ). I might take AP Psych next semester, if my counselor can put me in. Would it be worth it trying to rush into more AP’s so I can have AP national scholar before Senior year?
Before senior year
If you want to put National AP Scholar on your college apps, you’d need to take the 8 APs by May 2017 (junior year).
