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

right right. Well, even if no one else responds, all I needed to know is that AP national scholar isn’t that big of a deal- I just saw people list it up as a “major award” and was wondering if I should take the risk of being one.

Anyways, I felt that given that no one really can say they have a complete understanding of all the AP and IB exam I would just expand a little. I think most people would also agree that AP Calculus BC and Physics C are pretty difficult courses, just because they have prerequisites before taking them. You have to take Algebra-> Trig and Honors Physics/ Physics B before taking these exams, as opposed to Euro or Chem (which only has one exam). Please don’t believe I think I’m the shiznit and all because “I go to a fancy prep school or whatever”- I’m a scholarship kid from Iowa and felt I needed to explain a little more.

@GA2012MOM I actually have finished all of the course work for HL Calculus and Physics (senior year level), but wasn’t allowed to anticipate because these are HL courses. In addition, my school has in-house predictions so that is why I am able to anticipate my grades.
