<p>If I got a 5 on one exam, 3 on one and 4 on two others, for a total of 4 APs, do I get a Scholar with Distinction?? Because they screwed up on my transcript so one of my scores is missing.</p>
<p>istar:</p>
<p>the problem is I don't see how I coudl convince them. I am going to take these exams regardless of whether or not the school pays for it all. and they already pay for 30 dollars an exam...</p>
<p>I have not taken any previous AP tests but I am a strong self studier who does well in school. teachers could testify to that. and i am kinda buddy buddy with the administration at the moment.</p>
<p>I'm aiming for exactly 8 exam... to get the national scholar.</p>
<p>hey do u know anything about AP stats? it sounds like it may be worth my while to study (math is incredibly boring right now (I hate graphs - I hate pre cal)) to take the AP test? Do u know where I could get more info on it and some study material (that can teach me all of it and bump me up to a 4 or 5 on the AP).</p>
<p>thanx 4 all your help man!</p>
<p>Sorry if this question has been asked before...</p>
<p>If someone qualifies for an award, does that mean he is guaranteed to receive it? I got a 5 in English language, 4 in chemistry, 4 in US History, 3 in US Government, 2 on Physics Mechanics, and 2 on E & M. The average is a 3.5, so will I receive the AP Scholar Award? Or do those 2's kill it? I haven't yet gotten any mail from collegeboard, and the UC app is basically due, so I'm caught between risking it and putting it on my app, or filling the space with other things. Reading other posts in this thread, it seems like I should, but I'm not entirely certain.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help you can provide.</p>
<p>Ooo! ^_^ Sounds so cool!</p>
<p>Have I made it? O.o; Almost afraid to ask, hehe.</p>
<p>U.S. History - 5
Spanish Lit. - 5
English Comp. - 4
Chemistry - 3
Biology - 2</p>
<p>Thank you! :)</p>
<p>Are you a sophomore or a junior vtran?</p>
<p>and get 5 steps to a 5 for ap stats - i used that to get a 5 independant study... I thought it was excellent (even though I didn't finish it)</p>
<p>AP Award</p>
<p>I have not received the award notification either but I did call CB to verify the award I'm getting. If they verify over the phone then I think it's safe to put on the applications.</p>
<p>azmodan, I am a junior... gonna be a busy year</p>
<p>R U sure that is the right title azmodan? I googled it and didn't get it</p>
<p>I got my AP Scholar with Honor today. Meh... Well, my school got it, actually.</p>
<p>Awesome :) I think I might get mine soon... lol, all this AP talk makes me want to self-study a lot more to get the National title ^_^ Imagine all the commotion come May!</p>
<p>I got this response from the College Board today - apparently, we just have to wait for another certificate to hit our mail box.</p>
<p>"The site makes no mention of the diploma because it was discontinued in 2002. Because your son attends a school that was part of the program and took his first AP in 2002, he was still eligible to receive the diploma this year. The envelopes for the awards are stuffed by a machine that can only load one certificate per mailing. He should be receiving a separate notice of the AP Scholar with Distinction award soon."</p>
<p>Note that the AP Diploma my son received is different from the Interantional AP Diploma discussed on the AP Web Site.</p>
<p>Grrrr. Everyone at my school but me has gotten their certificates. Why not me? Oh, that's right, CB is a FREAK!</p>
<p>Btw, I got 5s on US History, English Lang, Spanish Lang, and World History.</p>
<p>slipstream-I'm in the exact same boat as you. 4 5s, but no award yet.</p>
<p>5 5s and 1 3...still no award...</p>
<p>Yeah, no awards right here in northern illinois, either.</p>
<p>Ditto.... also in northern illinois. JLP what school do you go to?</p>
<p>I think they are supposed to be cumulative, but mine was messed up.</p>
<p>When I got my scores for my junior year in July they didn't list my sophomore year grades. I called three times but didn't get it cleared up until a week ago. Supposedly I was listed as two different people and so they had to merge my files. Good stuff. I'm wondering if they will send me a new certificate since I should be AP Scholar with Honor</p>
<p>northern cali, still haven't received mine</p>
<p>Just wondering, did the Calc BC/AB subscore count as two or one scores?</p>
<p>Don't worry vtran... i took 10 last year and it wasn't that bad... it was actually pretty fun.</p>
<p>and the isbn number is: 0071412786</p>
