<p>How attractive does a 5 on an AP exam look?
I know that the AP scores are located in the award section of your resume.
But would a 5 look extremely appealing? Cause the AP exams are more difficult than the SAT II subject tests.</p>
<p>^Depends, some 5’s are better than others: A 5 on Computer Scince will look better than a 5 on Psychology. A 5 on Chemistry will probably look better than a 5 on Computer Science.</p>
<p>Overall, since the colleges don’t really, tangible have your scores on them (you self report them) I guess they count, but not too much.</p>
<p>For example if you’re applying to MIT a 5 may be almost expected. Other school, depending on your major, a 4 or 5 may not help you as much, as a 1 or 2 will hurt you. </p>
<p>Having said all that a 5 is just plain EPIC. I had a handful of 5 under my belt and I got accepted to Johns Hopkins. </p>
<p>I think the bottom line is that the AP’s and SAT II’s is what separates applicants, sometimes. If you can get a 5 def. go for it. </p>
<p>Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>So if I get a 5, definitely put it on my resume. Also is it hard to earn a 5?
If I pay attention in class everyday, and set 1-2 hours on that subject, is a 5 really hard?
I am taking these courses my Junior year
AP CALC
AP Eng
AP Biology
AP American History</p>
<p>^Yes, a 4 or 5 def. put it on your application. Resume? Maybe? If you get enough 5’s, you’ll get the AP Scholar Award, which you can ut on your resume :)</p>
<p>AP Calculus BC – I had to self-study a decent amount and I got a 5.
AP English – I just took the Lit test in May, didn’t really study, or do anything in class, I barely even went to class, AP teacher loves me, gave me A’s all year long, probably got a 4 or 5, the test was like critical reading from the SAT’s 
AP Bio – never took, hear from this girl I know its pretty easy, so…
AP US History – I read parts of the textbook, payed attetion in class, didn’t really study at home. Got a 5 :)</p>
<p>Vader, your an awesome motivator!! How many 5’s do you need to the award? I am only taking 3 or 4 aps… I guess thats not enough, meh!!
w.e</p>
<p>Actually there are 4 or 5 different awards, each varying in difficulty to attain.</p>
<p>[AP:</a> Scholar Awards](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Qualifying for an AP Scholar Award – AP Students | College Board)</p>
<p>The best you could do is get the second level of Award: AP Scholar with Honor. Which is not bad, its actually pretty good. All you would need is A score of “3” on 3 tests and a score of a “4” on 1 test. A “5” on all 4 tests would be impressive but still net you the same award. Of course make no mistake a 5 on ALL 4 tests is EPIC…</p>
<p>If you must know I got the National AP Scholar Award: A score of 4 or 5 on EIGHT AP Test taken. My average was: 4.75 ;)</p>
<p>w.e thats pretty *** up. As long as I try my best, I know I can get a 5 on everything, EPIC!!!</p>
<p>^with that attitude you’ll def. get all 5’s! Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>Thanks man, I gotta go now. Congrats on being accepted already, </p>
<p>later man.</p>
