Question about Awards

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>If I reach the requirements for an AP Award by the end of my junior year, when will I get the award? Will I be able to put it on my college applications?
Example: I had 2 exams in 10th grade and took another 6 this year. Assume I got all 4 and 5's on those, will I get AP National Scholar in time for apps?</p>

2

<p>Hell yeah, you're part of an elite 500 of kids....well not so elite, but compared to people who get AP national scholar after senior year, it's a noteworthy accomplishment.</p>

3

<p>yeah i hope to do that too.
i also have 2 done and took 6 this year.
Ill kill myself if i get 1 3 (but i dont think i will). </p>

<p>Good luck to you.</p>

4

<p>lol I just avoided that problem by doing all 8 math/science APs, where anything less than a 5 is unacceptable LOL!</p>

5

<p>If you just take BC, does that count as 2?</p>

6

<p>Naaaaahhhhhh.....</p>

7

<p>mathwiz, </p>

<p>nope, it's in the AP Central website. It says that AB subscore in Calc doesn't count towards calculations.</p>

8

<p>But what if you took AB and BC separately?
That's 2 right?</p>

9

<p>mathwiz, yeah if you took them seperately that's two. if you took only bc, then the subscore will not count for awards.</p>

10

<p>So when is the award issued? o=</p>

<p>Is there a certificate of some sort?</p>

<p>Edit: On collegeboard's website it says:</p>

<p>"Students are automatically awarded upon successful completion of the criteria."</p>

<p>Does this mean that it is indicated on the grades-summary report they send you?</p>

<p>..wish they provided more information.</p>

11

<p>Your school gets a separate paper with your info and the distinction you receive. You should get that written in your report. It is sent to colleges with your scores too. I don't think you actually get a diploma or the likes with the distinction written in it.</p>

12

<p>Wait.. do your grades on AP Exams during senior year count for the scholar awards? If so, then I can get National AP Scholar!</p>

13

<p>I think they should make AP scores accessible online. -.- That way sending reports would be so much easier. Thanks DFD for the info.</p>

14

<p>so if 3 Ap's junior year and 4 senior year, willthis allow you to pu distinction on college apps?</p>

15

<p>No, not until you've completed it and received the actual AP scores.</p>

16

<p>For AP exam Awards, the number of exams is all that you have taken throughout high school right?</p>
