AP Scholar

An AP Scholar is a high school student who earns recognition by successfully passing multiple Advanced Placement (AP) exams, which are college-level courses offered in high school. To qualify as an AP Scholar, students typically need to score a 3 or higher (on a 5-point scale) on at least three AP exams. There are different levels of AP Scholar awards based on the number of exams taken and scores achieved. Achieving this designation demonstrates strong academic effort and mastery of challenging coursework across various subjects.
