<p>AP Scholar with Honor!</p>
<p>Yippeee, as a sophomore!</p>
<p>sorry, I misread the National Scholar qualifications as requiring no scores under 4 on any exam. But I'll have graduated anyway by the time I win it.</p>
<p>Cool, AP Scholar as a junior. Not bad.</p>
<p>will calc BC count as 2 scores or just 1?</p>
<p>just one score...only the BC score counts for scholar awards</p>
<p>would a 5 4 4 3 make me an AP scholar?</p>
<p>yeah...itd make u a Scholar with Honors too</p>
<p>wow, that's nice!!!</p>
<p>for ap scholar with distinction when they say and 5 ap exams with scores of at least 3, is that in addition to 3.5 avg or is it like an alternate requirement...</p>

<p>How does the distinction work for you? Is it similar to National Merit?
Do you put it on applications? Wouldn't the schools see that you had all 5s? Thanks--</p>
<p>Yes you can put it on applications. And it's fairly prestigious, probably a little below the level of National Merit. It represents a significant accomplishment in handling college level work, especially if you earn the awards sophomore and junior year</p>
<p>i think i may be only 1 of 3 AP Scholars (just scholars, no extra bruhaha) at my school... lol</p>
<p>How is honor compare to distinction? is it far less significant?</p>
<p>it goes (in increasing significance): </p>
<p>Scholar
w/ Honor
w/ Distinction
National</p>
<p>and State (which some would argue is less than national..but IMO its a LOTTTT bigger honor, especially from a big state like NY or CA)</p>
<p>you take an average of your scores from all years (including this one)..</p>
<p>if you have:
*3.00 average and 3 passed exams -- AP scholar
*3.25 average and 4 passed exams -- AP Scholar w/ honor
*3.50 average and 5 passed exams -- AP scholar w/ distinction
*4.00 average and 8 passed exams (all w/ a score of 4) - National AP Scholar</p>
<p>K, so i was reading the AP info on college board and i noticed the footnote. it said, </p>
<p>" The AP Scholar Awards are academic distinctions that students may cite among their credentials on applications, r</p>
<p>Yes. What they mean is that your AB subscore doesn't count.</p>
<p>As in, if you take the BC exam, you get what's called an AB subscore (it tells you what you would have gotten if you had taken the AB test... roughly). You don't get two "exams" for that, you only get the BC.</p>
<p>Yeah, no chance for me of getting anything spectacular. My school only offers 6 AP classes. <em>sigh</em></p>
