Question about AP Awards?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I'm an upcoming junior and during sophomore year, I took one AP course and got a 4 on the exam. I'm planning to take 4 more junior year. (English Language, US History, Biology, Music Theory)
I'm aiming for the AP Scholar with distinction award. </p>

<p>The college board website says: The Calculus AB subscore, Music Theory aural subscore, and Music Theory nonaural subscore are not used in the AP Scholar Award calculations.</p>

<p>Does that mean Music Theory does not count toward the awards at all and if so, why? I really want to get this award.</p>

<p>The music theory score counts, but only as one exam - as in, if you were to get a 5, and then subscore 5 for aural and non-aural, that doesn’t count as 3 5’s, just 1.</p>

<p>Oh! That makes sense! Thanks so much, preamble1776!!</p>
