<p>title says it all, the reason im asking is because im already taking 2 APs, if i do one more independent, i have a shot at the award. should i go for it?</p>
<p>What grade are you in? I got it as a sophomore, but I don't think its that big of a deal. All you get is a little certificate. No money or anything like that. BUt if you are a junior, I would recommend going for the award because its one more thing to put on your apps next year.</p>
<p>im a junior.. but then id be sacrificing time for SAT 2's.</p>
<p>focus on the SAT II's</p>
<p>Agreed. It's irrelevant. If you want to take extra AP exams to show you can study on your own and that you have an interest in that subject, then by all means go ahead. But don't do it for the award (particularly for AP Scholar because it bears little weight if any). If you can, try to overlap your SAT II's and the extra AP - it's possible for biology, chemistry, physics, foreign languages, literature... um I don't know what else.</p>
