<p>I am an academic decathlon coach who just received an e-mail from one of my students telling me his results. I am curious as to what the record highest score is 'cause I have to think he's close to it. And he is only a junior.</p>
<p>A kid I run cross-country with has 9 5's as well.</p>
<p>Far from the highest, I think. I've heard of people in Texas who took 22 or so exams with 5s on them all.</p>
<p>^^ yeah, there are people with way higher. i haven't heard about 22 exams, but on the internet, i read about a girl who took 16 exams and scored a 5 on 15 of them.</p>
<p>The valedictorian from our school last school year got 5's on all 10 AP exams he took (or 12, I can't remember).</p>
<p>^^ I believe it was 12 ;)</p>
<p>To offspring a quote: "There are those that do academically well to enrich their lives, and those that do academically well to define their lives. Don't be the latter. It makes you miss out on what's important in life."</p>
<p>Another quote: "Anyone can kill a fly with a rocket launcher, but why bother when a rolled up newspaper will suffice?"</p>
<p>And I am sure those Texas kids that got 5's on 22 exams were on Ridlin. No normal human could possibly study for that many exams even if they started a year beforehand.</p>
<p>take about 7 a year starting as a sophomore, itd be rough but its definitely doable...i took 5 this year, didnt study for any of them out of class, and made 4s and 5s, couldve easily taken more.</p>
<p>Okay, I appreciate the need for clarification. In one year, what is the most 5's scored? I assume the cumulative tally occurred for the 22 tests.</p>
<p>Yeah, he got the state scholar award.</p>
<p>I know of someone on here who took ~13 tests in one year, many of which were self-studied. I dunno how he did though, but he was ambitious enough to say he was aiming for 5s in them all.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm at that mark too! Guess I'll have to take 14 next year to top the record... not.</p>
<p>But congrats to whoever has the will to sit through so many and score perfectly.</p>
<p>Yeah, the Texas state scholars usually have 20+ </p>
<p>Impressive, very. That is, as long as they manage to learn something and enjoy themselves.</p>
<p>I have 7 5's thus far as a junior, it's not too hard to get the 5s. I don't think I studied for any of them (except for spanish, which I studied weeks for and will probably get raped on). I imagine there are people would could easily get that many 5's... of course, at the sacrifice of social life.</p>
<p>I am really good at Spanish but only got a 4. I think only native speakers get a 5...esp. with the new test this year.</p>
<p>I just remembered the one guy on the listening part that busted out with full-speed spanish speaking. He just kept getting faster and faster. I think that was my worst part because it was too early in the morning to focus. Reading section was easy though because the articles were interesting. Everyone around me took up the full time on the essay and I had 10 minutes left and 5 paragraphs. For the speaking, I always had leftover time because I can speak fairly fast and don't need any time to think about what I am going to say in english and then translate it into spanish.</p>
<p>7 5's as a junior, no studying except for psych, which I self-studied the weekend before. I'm taking 9 or 10 next year. The Texas 22 5's is disturbing =/</p>
<p>Wow, big bucks for College Board!</p>
<p>are the 9 5s all in 1 year?
And why is an academic decathalon coach on CC (even more so posting about his student).</p>
<p>How do people who do that manage their time? Do they have any free time at all?</p>
<p>Well, you're going to have to ask them yourself, however, I don't think they'll have enough free time to answer you back! ;)</p>
<p>That's probably true. ;)</p>
