<p>On College Board, the description is as follows:
International AP Scholar: Granted to the one male and one female student attending a school outside the United States and Canada that is not a DoDEA school with the highest average score on the greatest number of AP Exams. The minimum requirement is a score of 3 or higher on three exams.</p>
<p>How does it work? If someone has 22 5's and 2 4's and another person has 23 5's, who would win? I'm assuming this goes the same for State AP Scholar.</p>
<p>bump, i wanna know also.</p>
<p>I think I’ve found the answer to my question from Wikipedia:
AP State Scholar: Top male and female student in each U.S. state (and the District of Columbia) ranked first by the greatest number of exams with a grade 3 or higher and then by highest average on all* AP exams taken.</p>
<p>That’s interesting… in an extreme case, someone who takes 30 APs and gets 3’s on every one of them would get the award over someone who takes 29 APs and gets 5’s on all of them. But then again, I guess there’s no other way to objectively decide who gets the award, and College Board chooses the way that allows them to make more money :D.</p>
<p>Changing topics here… but does anyone know how many APs recent International AP Scholars took to get it?
I read that last year’s male recipient had 20. Any data from other years?</p>
