<p>You need to take at least 8 tests with an 4.0 average and no score less than a 4 to get this award. Tests like Enviromental Science and Human Geography are based on 1 semester courses. Do they still count as a full test towards the award (i.e. as much as Chemistry or any other 2 semester course)? If so, couldn't you take 8 of those and technically have done half the work?</p>
<p>Hmmm... you need to maintain an average >4, scoring 4 on at least eight of them, meaning that you can, in fact, score less than a four and still make National AP Scholar. </p>
<p>As far as I know, all AP exams are equal.</p>
<p>yeah, every ap test counts equally, but you can't count subscores. for instance, if you took calc bc, you can only count calc bc, not the calc ab subscore.</p>
