DD validated 8 classes, excelled at a varsity sport, and maintained a 4.0 throughout the year. High validators get a special briefing during or just after PS in which they are told that additional opportunities await them if they don't screw up. Those opportunities include: academic/research, studying abroad, etc.
My DD clearly has a different approach to academia than her father. I participated in the validation exams years ago to be out of the sun, not be yelled at for a couple of hours, and to nap.
