<p>Do you think college view SAT as well as AP exams? That's because I plan to take AP Bio, AP US hist, but also the SATIIs for Bio and US history the same year.
Similarly, I will take calc senior year, but also the SATII math level iic. Is that redundant for colleges? (is it even worth it to take SATII math when we got 99/100 in honors precalc and 5 on the APcalc BC exam? I don't really feel like reviewing all the precalc stuff while taking calc at the same time...)</p>
<p>Any opinions, comments, anecdotes are more than welcome. Thanks.</p>
<p>Come on! 31 views and no posts... I bet someone knows about this issue. Perhaps, I haven't been specific enough. I'm looking at my state school (UT Austin), and still wonder how helpful it is to take Math level II, bio, physics, and US history if you are going to take the AP tests for those subjects.</p>
<p>AP scores are considered only slightly for admissions (the fact that you took AP classes is considered in determining the rigor of your curriculum). </p>
<p>Schools that require SAT IIs will not accept AP tests instead. Schools that recommend SAT IIs will consider them more heavily than AP tests. Schools that don't require or recommend SAT IIs don't care much about either.</p>
<p>AP scores are for receiving credit once you've been accepted to college.</p>
<p>AP scores give you credit or advanced placement once you're in college, and they help make your courses look more rigorous or challenging. It's probably worth it to take both SAT II's and AP's, because SAT II's are usually required or more strongly considered while AP's help once you get in.</p>
