FRYEBURG — The College Board has conferred AP Scholar Awards on 32 Fryeburg Academy students this year, recognizing college-level achievement on AP examinations for 22 students designated as AP Scholars, four further as AP Scholars with Honor, and six as AP Scholars with Distinction.

“Success” on an AP Exam is defined as a score of 3, 4 or 5, representing the score point that research finds predictive of college success, in addition to successful attainment of the knowledge and skills entailed in the subject area studied. Most colleges and universities grant accelerated study options, credit, or both to enrolling students who have achieved scores in this range while in high school.

AP Scholars are granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams; AP Scholars with Honor are granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams; and AP Scholars with Distinction are granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.
