<p>Ap Scholar Awards as I know are given out in October. I am currently a Junior and by the end of the year will have a total of 7 AP exams taken. I see that National award requires 4+ on at least 8 exams. </p>

<p>The questions are..... do colleges really look at the awards that much? Senior AP exams dont count toward awards right? if so ....should I take an extra exam this year to get 8 total? </p>

<p>....Thank you</p>

<p>Believe it or not, awards are typically given out to recognize your merit and achievement, not to boost your resume.</p>

<p>If you qualify, you'll get an award in college (September or so). Even if you get AP Scholar with Honor before applications, it's largely useless at top colleges -- tons of students get it, as they take lots of AP classes and do well on the exams. I know I didn't even bother putting that in the awards section.</p>
