<p>I got overall 2240 on the SAT (670 CR 800 M 770 W)</p>
<p>my CR was really weak, but i just got AP score today and i got a 5 on AP lang.</p>
<p>will that help counterbalance my CR score perhaps a little bit? will colleges view the 670 a bit less harshly if they see the 5 on lang?</p>
<p>a 2240 is a good enough score to get into top schools. As long as your GPA is good and so are yor EC’s everything should be ok</p>
<p>where are u planning on applying?</p>
<p>Hey! I had a 670 CR and 5 AP Lang too! =]</p>
<p>but the problem is that a big portion of the ap lang exam is essays. so you can fail at CR but still get a decent grade.
:(</p>
<p>I got a 680 on CR and 620 on SAT 2 Lit, and a 5 on AP Lang and AP Lit. I fail at vocab, but I don’t really get the SAT 2 score lol.</p>
<p>im applying to a couple high reaches like MIT and princeton and some lower reaches like cornell, duke, hopkins, upenn</p>
<p>If it really bothers you, you can retake the SAT after prepping your CR. To be honest, all I’ve heard about AP scores in admissions for the most part is that… well, they don’t make much of a difference at all. You have a really good score, but like I said, if you want, take it again in the fall.</p>
<p>The SAT is significantly more important than AP scores. Grades too.</p>
<p>For example, I had a 760 CR, and a 5 on the AP Eng Lit, but I had Bs in English every year except my last (when it no longer counted, ha!). I know my mediocre grades outweighed whatever strong testing I had.</p>
<p>Every piece is important, but it’s safe to say that the SAT and your grades are your primary concerns.</p>
<p>My D went from a 690 to 760 in CR and credited the AP Lang & Comp test for the large increase. She said that the CR on the AP test was so much harder than the SAT. She took the AP in May and the SAT in June a few weeks later. BTW she got a 5 on the Lang & Comp exam - a complete shocker!!</p>

<p>Thirded. :)</p>
<p>I thought the AP Lang multiple choice was WAY WAY WAY easier than SAT CR.</p>
<p>No. A 670 would make Princeton near impossible without a major hook–their 75th percentile is 790. It will make any ivy tough. 75th percentile at mid tiers is about 770 and median 740. Retake.</p>

<p>=O Wow, how is that? Does anyone else here agree? (I’m taking both next year)</p>
<p>Idk, AP Lang just came naturally to me. I easily understood the deeper meaning and tone of the authors in every passage I read, both in practice AP tests and the real thing. I got a 5 on the practice exam we took the very first weak of class.</p>
<p>SAT CR on the other hand is an entirely different beast to me, probably more due to all of that vocab than the actual reading comprehension stuff.</p>
<p>I completely agree, every practice AP exam throughout the year I got like a 5 on with like around 90%+ on the MC (even though my average essay grade was probably like only a 7). Still, I felt like I got 1-2 wrong max on the actual test, yet the SAT CR just always raped me!</p>
<p>I too thought that the AP Lang MC was much easier than the SAT CR. but after taking the AP test in May, I was more confident when I took the SAT again in June ended up getting a 800.
I don’t think they will weigh the AP test more than the SAT. The AP is only really regarded as whether or not you will recieve college credit, or if you have a rigorous courseload (unless your a national AP scholar by senior year, that helps alot).</p>
<p>I’m the opposite; I got 800 CR but 4 AP lang. :(</p>
