There is really no way to separate the two. From a practical matter, most who take an AP courses also take the Subject Test corresponding to that subject. And, the AP scores are highly correlated with Subject Test scores. Thus, an 750+ in the Bio subject test, for example, is likely to result in a 5 on the AP Bio test. A ~600 correlates to a 3.

As I have said before, colleges place less emphasis on the AP scores. Why? Not every high school in the U.S. offers AP classes. Although it truly depends on which high school you attend, and how many AP courses it offers, the bottom line is that it wouldn’t be fair to compare someone how wasn’t given the opportunity to take any AP tests to another student who has taken 10+ exams. Why do you think that people who have failed AP exams still get into top notch schools, even though that is still pretty rare? They shouldn’t have ANY chance at all, if they placed as much emphasis on the APs as they did on the SATs.</p>
