AP Scholar Awards?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Can someone please explain what happens with the advanced AP Scholar Awards? D has taken 5 exams with the results being 4 grades of "5" and one "3" (that AP French exam was HARD and they didn't help it any by messing up the timing- and no one has any idea how the then scored those exams that were effected by the timing error). Those scores qualify her for an "honor" designation and possibly the "distinction" award. Do they send a certificate or letter of some kind later on?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, they will.</p>

<p>Though these awards don’t really matter to anyone. I got National scholar back in the day and I don’t think anybody cared.</p>

<p>Right! This afternoon, I came across an entire accordian file of all of her awards etc since middle school, so I can just add these new one to the pile- only a mother keeps that stuff, you know!</p>

<p>I got my certificate mailed last year some time in the fall.</p>

<p>when do letters go out for AP Scholar with Distinction?</p>

<p>Spawn got his AP Scholar certificate in the mail last week.</p>

<p>Wow. Interesting that Owlice’s Spawn got certificate in August. This College Board notice says they aren’t sent until October. I’d love for my D to get hers, so we’d KNOW it was OK to put it on applications. We can all “do the math”, but it feels funny listing it before it’s “official”. </p>

<p>The awards come out in the fall and the high schools may have already received their list. ^ I don’t see any problem listing it before the certificate is received, it is purely objective for most of the levels.</p>

<p>I got mine about a week ago in the mail.</p>

<p>R124687, have your daughter go ahead and put the AP scholar award on her college applications with “(Pending)” after it. Since there is no question about your daughter getting it – if you meet the criteria, you automatically get it – you don’t have to wait until you get the official letter (which has always been in late Sept. or early Oct. in past years).</p>
