Hey guys, do you know how to become a College Board AP Scholar? Like, what are the minimum requirements or criteria? Thanks!
Hey! Becoming a College Board AP Scholar is based on your performance on AP exams. There are different levels of AP Scholar awards, and each has its own criteria. Here's a quick summary:
1. AP Scholar: Granted to students who score a 3 or higher on three or more AP exams.
2. AP Scholar with Honor: Granted to students who have an average score of at least 3.25 on all their AP exams and score a 3 or higher on at least four exams.
3. AP Scholar with Distinction: Granted to students who have an average score of at least 3.5 on all their AP exams and score a 3 or higher on at least five exams.
Keep in mind that these awards don't have a significant impact on college admissions since colleges can already see your AP scores on your application. However, they can still serve as nice recognition of your hard work and dedication to challenging yourself academically. Good luck on your AP exams!
