800 on SAT Subject Test = ? on AP Exam?

<p>In general and based on personal experience for those who have received 800s on SAT subject tests, what was your AP score to the corresponding exam if you took it?</p>

<p>5 or 4 at least. generally 5</p>

<p>I received an 800 on the SAT Biology Ecology, so I want to predict what I will receive on the AP exam if I self study it.</p>

<p>I got a 5 in AP Bio with the class. 2 days after taking that test, I took the SATII bio molecular, and I got a 720, haha.</p>

<p>Well, not 800's, but close enough, in my opinion :). </p>

<p>US SAT II = 780 = 5
LIT SAT II = 770 = 5 (English Language)
MII SAT II = 770 = 5 (BC Calc...personal strength is free response, so that might be part of the reason for my relatively lower Math II score)</p>

<p>I got an 800 on the Chemistry SATII. I don't think that correlates to a 5, sadly <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>BTW, I'm taking AP chem next year, how is it?</p>

<p>An 800 does not correlate to a 5 because on SAT2, you have to answer almost all the MC correctly to get an 800. For AP exams, you can miss quite a few MC and make up for it with free response and still get a 5.</p>

<p>Eh, it depends when you take 'em. I got a 5 on my AP American test and like a 680 on the SAT II cos I waited a few months in between. They're different tests- make sure you're aware of just how different.</p>

<p>I'd say an 800 is harder to get than a 5 in its corresponding subject, so usually 800 = 5</p>

<p>It is much easier to get a 5 on an AP test than to get a >750 on the SAT II Subject test. The AP tests are curved and the range to get a 5 is huge. That is not the care for the SAT II.</p>

<p>I got a 750 on chem SAT II but got a 3 on the exam.
I think id depends on the subject and how the SAT II correlates to the AP subject. AP Chem is on completely different topics than the SAT II.</p>

<p>What about AP Biology compared to the SAT Biology-E?</p>

<p>Had Chemistry: 770 and 5
Spanish: 740 and 4, so...</p>

<p>I got 800 on Chem and a 5 on the Ap exam, but I would say there really is no big correlation between the 2. AP exam covers a lot more and much more in-depth.</p>

<p>"MII SAT II = 770 = 5 (BC Calc...personal strength is free response, so that might be part of the reason for my relatively lower Math II score)"</p>

<p>770 a relatively low score. Spoken like a true CCer :).</p>

<p>Indeed. As somebody who's going to be self-studying 6 APs, I sincerely hope an 800 does lead to a 5. (that'll be 6 5's for me then, thanks. :p:))</p>

<p>It also varies because like I mentioned earlier, some people are weak with MC but strong with FR, so do poorly on SAT2's, but do well on AP exams since FR plays a big role as well.</p>

<p>AP US History, for example, might not correlate as nicely - the APUSH exam is heavily free-response based, so just because you do really well on MC (aka 800 SATII), you won't necessarily get a 5 on your AP. Sadly.</p>

<p>guys,</p>

<p>there is no calculus on the SAT II Math tests, so there is no AP equivalent of the tests or corresponding test. you simply can not make an accurate judgement/correlation on this.</p>

<p>Bio: 750/5</p>

<p>I did take the SAT Bio exam a year before the AP though.</p>
