<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a junior who's currently taking 4 AP classes; 2 last year. Thus, I would only have 6 AP classes at the end of this school year... many of my peers have suggested having 8 AP classes by the end of junior year, to receive the "AP Scholar" award to put on the resume.</p>
<p>Do you think it would be worth it to self-study two more APs for the AP Scholar Award? I was thinking Music Theory and Human Geography/Environmental Science.</p>
<p>You need a 3 or higher on three or more exams to get the AP Scholar award, it has nothing to do with how many classes you take. I received the award last year.</p>
<p>AP:</a> Scholar Awards</p>
<p>I think you are referring to </p>
<p>National AP Scholar
Granted to students in the United States who receive an average grade of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.</p>
<p>Personally, I do not think it is worth it. You do not get money for it. You do not get anything for it but a certificate in the mail. Yes, you can receive college credit for it (but it all depends on the college). That is the only reason it is worth self-studying, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Ahh yes, I meant the National AP Scholar award, sorry.</p>
<p>Yeahh - that was kind of my feeling too. Self-studying for an AP sounds like it'd take a lot of time, and I don't want to do it unless this National AP Scholar award is actually reputable.</p>
<p>LoL. I've never of this award before coming on CC.
It's like not even mentioned at our school since rarely anyone takes 8 APs and get that high of grades on all of them..</p>
<p>I think it might be worth it if you don't have a lot of other awards (like myself). I don't think it's that impressive but at least it builds up your resume.</p>
<p>Collision, I think you are just a freak</p>
