<p>From the website:
The Siemens Awards for Advanced Placement are awarded each year to students with the greatest number of scores of 5 on AP exams taken in grades 9, 10 and 11 </p>

<p>Eligible AP subjects include the following:</p>

<pre><code>* Biology
* Calculus BC
* Chemistry
* Computer AB
* Environmental Science
* Physics C: Mechanics
* Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
* Statistics
</code></pre>

<p>I was wondering if anyone knows if the finalists for this scholarship have generally taken and received 5's on all 8 of these tests, or if there's a estimation of what the average usually is.</p>

2

<p>yeah, they recieve 5s..........</p>

3

<p>There are only 8, and not particularly difficult tests, so there are people out there that would definitely get 5's.</p>

4

<p>the real question is...does 7 of the 8 (5s of course) get you a state scholar prize in NY?</p>

5

<p>Probably not</p>

6

<p>Do you have a link to the page on the site?</p>

<p>??</p>

<p>wow I find it hard to believe that anyone could take ALL EIGHT....eh its NY oh well</p>

<p>Anyone know how hard Comp Sci AB is? I took A because I was an idiot, and found it extremely easy.</p>

9

<p>


</p>

<p>I'm taking A this upcoming year because that's all they offer at my school. I was looking at the marine biology case study on collegeboard and they said that instead of doing chapters 1-4, you would do 1-5 in AB.</p>

10

<p>I know someone who did 5/8
* Biology
* Calculus BC
* Chemistry
* Physics C: Mechanics
* Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
And, he got 5s in all of them.</p>

11

<p>Thanks, I was mainly curious about wehther the recipients usually take ALL 8 of the APs, or if a lower number might still have a chance. I guess it does differ a lot depending on the state.</p>

<p>Oh and several of my friends who took CS AB said it was very hard.</p>

12

<p>I have (in MD):
* Calculus BC
* Chemistry
* Physics C: Mechanics
* Statistics
* Computer AB</p>

<p>Bio and E&M next year. I could have done all of these had I known about this freshman year.</p>

13

<p>where is he from wonwon?</p>

<p>does being a girl help also? b/c i know fewer girls take physics C, comp sci (which sounds absolutely boring, no offense).</p>

<p>i got 5's on
calculus BC
chemistry
physics C: mech
physics C: E&M
environmental science</p>

<p>but being from california, i probably won't get it. i'm taking bio/stats senior year though.</p>
