<p>I’m a rising junior and I was wondering if some AP fanatics could offer me some advice.
(s)=self-study</p>
<p>Freshman: None
Sophomore: Biology, Music Theory, European History
Junior: Microeconomics (s), Environmental Science, Chemistry, United States History, English Language and Composition</p>
<p>So… that would be 8. The following are all tentative:
Macroeconomics (s)
Calculus AB
English Literature and Composition
Physics B
Spanish Language
Human Geography (s)
Statistics (s)
US Government
Psychology (s)</p>
<p>Senior year I’m planning to take: Macro (s), Calc AB, English Lit, Physics, Spanish, US Gov, and Psychology (s).</p>
<p>Should I squish Human Geography and Statistics into my junior year? Or just into my senior year? And would 17 be enough?</p>
<p>sorry, my editing resulted in a double post for some reason.</p>
<p>The real question is, why do you want this award? Is there a scholarship attached to it in your state or college? Do you think it would help with college in some way (it would not)? Do you just want pride and prestige?</p>
<p>While the first of those reasons is good, the 2nd and 3rd aren’t too practical. For college admissions, it is more important to participate in extra-curriculars, gain leadership positions, and have a life (you’d be surprised. colleges don’t want drones who work all day, they want people who can have time to spend with friends or do something entertaining or just relax on their sofa. They can often glean such information through essays). It is a good thing to challenge yourself, but going on AP overload isn’t the right path into college. It’s about taking a challenging course-load that contain the right amount of AP classes in the context of your school and your capabilities and then pursuing meaningful extra-curricular activities that you enjoy and can advance within.</p>
<p>OMG!!! Another Oklahoman!!1 I thought I was the only one lol :P. What school you go to?!</p>
<p>Anyway in 2009 the state ap scholar Male had like 18 and the female had like 20something I think 23…</p>
<p>Awesome! Another Oklahoman! Haha that’s pretty cool! Uhh… I go to Deer Creek… honestly one of the weirdest schools I have ever been to in my whole life. You?</p>
<p>I wonder what state typically has the highest number of tests for these awards. Surely California or New York most likely?</p>
<p>The last one in California took 20 tests. Someone on CC has taken 24, but I don’t know what state they’re from.</p>
<p>
Lol! And yeah I’ve heard of that school! Its not to far away from my actually. I go to Harding Charter Prep (probbably never heard of it though lol 
)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha sorry I haven’t 
But at least we’re Oklahomans!</p>
<p>Lol true so what colleges you going for?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If this is referring to me, I’m from Florida.</p>
<p>I’d imagine that 17 would be a good number to get State Scholar in Oklahoma. And hey, it’s not like you won’t get other benefits from taking 17 exams. :D</p>
<p>Yes, I was referring to you.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are other benefits, though the 2nd person doesn’t seem to perceive that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ehh… I’m not quite sure yet. I kind of have a large range of colleges I’m looking at. Like University of Washington or Yale or something else…</p>
<p>17 would give you a decent chance at become State AP Scholar.</p>
<p>17 should be enough. I’ve heard 20 for California and I know Maryland had 22 two years ago. But if you want the award for college admissions, you’ll need to have it done by junior year.</p>
