How do AP scores and Subject Test scores compare?

<p>I have taken three AP Exams (Chemistry, Environmental Science, English) and gotten a 5 on all three. I plan to apply to Harvard, who requires three SAT II Subject Test scores, so I took subject tests in Chemistry, Literature, and Math II. </p>

<p>I received a 750 in Chemistry, 700 in Literature, and 630 in Math.</p>

<p>I will not be able to re-take the subject tests, so these will be the three that I send to Harvard. </p>

<p>Is it a good idea to put any or all of these scores on my Common Application for the other schools that I am applying to to see (Vanderbilt, Yale, Furman), or does a 700 on a Literature subject test negate my 5 on the English AP Exam? Do you think I should possibly put just my Chemistry score on the Common App, or just English and Chemistry, but still send all three scores to Harvard? I really am not sure how AP exam scores compare to subject test scores, and don't know how good my SAT II scores are.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t know about Vandy and Furman, but for H & Y, you have no choice but to send all three SAT II scores (H because they require 3 and Y because they don’t have score choice). Since you’re going to have to send official reports for all, you should also self-report them on the CA.</p>

<p>You should self-report all of your AP scores because they’re great. Generally for selective schools, 700+ is good and 750+ is great. But everything is relative to the rest of your application.</p>

<p>Thanks! That is good to hear. Do you not think that reporting a 630 in Math II on the CA would do me more harm than good for some of these more selective schools, besides H which I will inevitably send the SAT II scores to? I plan to submit my ACT (32) score on my CA, and not even submit my SAT I score (2010). Therefore, I could theoretically send the full score reports to H and Y, but only my chemistry and English to Vandy and Furman (they have score choice)</p>

<p>Though I am not planning on going into a math-related field, do you think the submittance of a 630 on the Math II test dampen my chances at these selective schools?</p>
