If you look at published College Board statistics what you will find is that most of the kids in the country who take 10+ AP courses post regularly on College Confidential. The total number of National AP scholars each year is something like 12,000. In order to be awarded National AP scholar, you need to have 4 average on 8 or more AP Tests.
