ap scholar awards

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Our school doesn't let you take AP's til junior year (except ap comp sci and unless you're an exception, which I'm not :/) and I'm taking either 2,3, or 4 next year.</p>

<p>(ap us history, ap chem, ap bio(?), and ap french(?)).</p>

<p>Let's say I take 3 ap's next year. Is it worth it to self study 2 more just to get a AP Scholar with Distinction award?</p>

<p>Or should I just wait until senior year when I'll take around 4-6 ap's? Since AP tests aren't until the end of the year, I can't put them on my college applications, right? </p>

<p>So - self study or don't self study? Plus our school charges $90 a test...would it be worth it? </p>

<p>And since I'm (almost) fluent in Chinese and Spanish (soon hopefully), should I take them? How much weight do colleges put on AP tests where you haven't taken the classes?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>tako, being an AP Scholar looks good. Doing well on multiple AP exams is equated with high intelligence, but AP programs are not all colleges look at.</p>
