<p>Are the Subject Test harder, easier, or the same as the AP tests?
Also what would I gain from taking the Subject SAT?</p>
<p>i think usually ap's are harder, but the subject tests are more detailed...</p>
<p>APs are harder for most people because they're much longer and usually including writing/speaking/etc, whereas SAT IIs are just multiple choice.</p>
<p>APs aren't required for college admissions, but some schools require (or strongly recommend) SAT IIs, so check with the individual colleges you're interested in.</p>
