Does this carry the same prestige as a National AP scholar award?

hmm… ok. I didn’t realize that, but you’re right about that. I think the reason that the percentage of people who get 5’s is because of how competitive and exceptional the students who are taking the test are. Most of them are seniors and are the best math students, and occasionally, the best students in the school. Besides, if 60% of the students who take the AP calculus BC get a 5 on the AB-subscore, compared to 20% of AB students who receive 5’s, then you can’t just say that BC is an easier AP.

h shucks, I’ve wasted an hour writing page-long responses to one simple question that has been answered already. I hate when that happens.
