<p>how similar are AP USH and SAT II US History?</p>
<p>AP = mc and essays
SAT II = a lot of mc</p>
<p>APs are harder than SAT IIs too.</p>
<p>detail-wise?</p>
<p>i used my AP prep book to study for the SAT II.</p>
<p>i ended up with a 4 on the AP USH and 770 on SAT II. I'd say the AP was harder.</p>
<p>material is same but u don't need to know nearly as in depth for SAT II as you do for AP. Also, the SAT II will be based on knowing facts a lot, while the AP requires much more knowledge regarding consequences, causes, implications etc. of events.</p>
