<p>I took the SAT 2 US history my sophomore year and got a 680. I was really hoping for at least a 700. But I did get a 5 on the AP US. Will this 680 really lower my chances of getting into some top top schools? Or will it not matter that much since I got a 5?</p>
<p>No, a 680 is a perfectly respectable score. You're right - the 5 carries more weight since it is a longer and more comprehensive test. I'm assuming that you got in the mid-to-high 90s in the classroom. if so, you have nothing to worry about.</p>
