<p>How many exams are usually needed to win this award in California? Are there any Californians here who are aiming for this award?</p>
<p>I’m assuming since California is a huge state brimming with overachievers, most of the APs are probably necessary to get state scholar, since it’s based on highest # APs, then highest average score.</p>
<p>Good luck learning German and Italian :)</p>
<p>Slight correction: it’s the most with a 3 or above and THEN highest average score.</p>
<p>I’m assuming you’re gonna pass all of them haha</p>
<p>Hopefully. The only one I know of right now is christiansoldier, who got it with 20 exams.</p>
<p>You probably need more than 20 now.</p>
<p>California is usually the most competitive… 23+ at least would be pretty safe, although I think a couple years ago the state scholar had 26 :s</p>
<p>I plan on 21. That beats christiansoldier, but I may lose to someone who takes multiple foreign languages(Chinese is a common one, which I can’t take since I’m Indian) or Art History/Music Theory. We’ll see.</p>
<p>A LOT of them. I’m at thirteen 5’s through junior year, and I’m sure there are people in CA out there with more.</p>
<p>Well yes, but eventually, you run out of tests to take. If you only learn one foreign language, the max you can take is 24.</p>
<p>If 2 people both have straight 5’s and the highest number of APs in the state, is the tie broken by composite scores?</p>
<p>I think they both get it. I doubt College Board would go through the trouble of calculating/look up composite scores.</p>
<p>^They do it for the Siemens Scholarship…</p>
<p>^ Doesn’t mean they do it for AP Scholar awards.</p>

<p>Go to the bottom and open the Excel doc. that documents the number of people getting AP awards per state in 2010. For example, Colorado has 3 AP State winners.</p>
<p>I see. Any other Californians besides me and pi? If CA has a lot of overachievers, you’d expect a lot of them to be on CC.</p>
<p>The only other overachiever I can think of that’s not in college yet is Keasbey Nights, and he’s in Florida.</p>
<p>Garfieldliker, are you class of 2012?</p>
<p>Yes, I am. I saw you in one thread saying you’re taking 19-20? APs, so we may tie if no one else takes more than 21.</p>
<p>I can also think of TheRealFake(took 18 tests this year as a Junior), and he’s in Maryland.</p>
<p>Well, I’m looking at anywhere from 5-7 next year (depending on scheduling/self-studying), so we’ll see.</p>

<p>Not if one if them’s male and the other female.</p>
<p>^The implication was that both are the same gender.</p>
