National AP Scholar Award

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Let’s say I have 5, 5, 5, 5, and 3 as my current AP grades. 5 tests, all fives but one three.</p>

<p>Let’s say I take 5 more exams this year, INCLUDING a retake of the 3 that I got.</p>

<p>Let’s say hypothetically I score 5, 4, 5 (the retake) , 4, 2 on these exams </p>

<p>Some questions:</p>

<li><p>Do I have to cancel my first score of a 3 in order to have the retake count?</p></li>
<li><p>The requirements for the National AP Scholar award are: An average of at least 4 on all AP exams taken and grades of 4 or higher on at least 8 exams.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I have a total of 6 fives, and 2 fours, with one 2. This means I meet the requirement for at least 8 exams, but does the score of 2 count against me? </p>

<p>What if someone takes 8 AP tests at first and gets ALL 5’s (getting him the award), but then decides to take a bunch more for kicks and gets all 1’s-2’s? Does he then “lose” the award? The total average score would be below 4, but if he cancels out his bad grades, theoretically the award would be his, right?</p>

<p>(Sorry, I’m just asking to clarify and make sure I’m doing things right…these College Board requirements are confusing)</p>

<li>Does this National AP Scholar award mean much when applying to colleges? How much significance does it hold?</li>
</ol>

<p>you can't cancel AP grades after you've seen them, only like before you receive your scores i think</p>

<p>Wow, are you serious? I thought that AP tests could only help and not hurt.....are you sure there isn't a way to prevent some scores from being seen?</p>

<p>accoring to my ap student pack, you can pay 10 bucks to withold 1 score per college. but it might appear as strikeout</p>
