I THINK collegeboard messed up my AP certificate...

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I took 1 AP test in 10th grade, and 4 AP tests last year in 11th grade. i got 4s and 5s on all of them. </p>

<p>so that's 5 AP tests, with an average of over 3.5. yet my Collegeboard certificate says AP Scholars with Honors, and not Distinction?</p>

<p>my first thought was that the awards were for the most recent round of tests taken, but the bottom of the Requirements paper says "the student's average AP grade is determined based on all exams taken this year and in previous years." </p>

<p>so... am i wrong, or did they make a mistake? has this happened to anyone else?</p>
