22 West Babylon Students Earn AP Scholar Awards

22 West Babylon Senior High School students have earned AP Scholar Awards for their success on Advanced Placement Program exams, according to The College Board.

The College Board’s AP Program provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement or both for successful performance on the AP exams.   Upon completing rigorous college-level courses in the district, the students took AP exams in May 2012.

The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on these exams.

Two West Babylon students, Wasiq Ahmad and Brian Phillips, were named National AP Scholars, a designation 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.
