700 on SAT Subject test like getting a 5 on AP

<p>Would getting a 700+ on an sat ii be like getting in the 5 range for a multiple choice portion for an AP exam in the corresponding subject matter?</p>

<p>I’d say 750+ personally. I got a 730 on physics and I know I’d never get a 5 on the AP Physics exam.</p>

<p>I don’t really think so. A 700+ on chem is kinda easy for me but AP Chem was pretty damn difficult.</p>

<p>Lolno. Depends on the test. For example the World History SATII takes much less knowledge and correct answers to get an 800 than the World History AP test.</p>

<p>No way. For example, I know kids who got a 800 on SAT Chem but a 4 on the AP test.</p>

<p>I think it depends on the test. Some subject tests are easier and have nicer curves than others. Generally though I think it’s harder to get a 5 on an AP than a 700 on a subject test. It’s probably about the same difficulty to get like a 770+ on a subject test as a 5 on an AP but there are of course exceptions.</p>

<p>I think 750+ is a good rule. 3 years after my freshman, non-AP physics class I got a 700 on the subject test, barely remembering anything.</p>

<p>I would say no, despite the responses listed here. Remember that the AP test is a completely different animal because of the FRQ’s and that more students across the nation take the AP tests as opposed to each individual SAT subject test. A 700 might be the equivalent of passing with a 3 or maybe a 4, but the even an 800 does not guarantee 5 equivalence.</p>

<p>depends on the test</p>

<p>like i got a 710 on USH and a 5 on the AP test</p>

<p>they measure different things</p>

<p>I got a 740 on Physics, and the Physics C exam absolutely demolished me. I’m expecting dual 1’s.</p>

<p>750 on Chem; 5 on AP Exam. I say I could have scored higher if it weren’t for those lab questions or the time span between May(AP Exam) and October (month when I took the subject test).</p>

<p>I personally thought the MC on the 2010 AP Chem exam was about the same difficulty as the SAT II chem test.</p>
