SAT II vs. AP

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
21

<p>None of my APs were offered as subject tests… (unless you count literature, which I will be taking in the fall).</p>

<p>So I can’t contribute to this thread</p>

<p>EDIT: Oh wait, I didn’t realize we were considering correlations between Math II and Calc.</p>

<p>Calc BC: 5, Math II: 790 =/</p>

22

<p>World History
AP-5
SAT II- 610</p>

<p>Yeah, I don’t know what happened. Lol.</p>

23

<p>World history:
Ap 4
Sat II 610</p>

24

<p>APUSH: 5
SATII: 700</p>

<p>AP Physics: 5
SATII: 560</p>

<p>AP Calc: 5
SAT II (Math II): 500</p>

<p>I see a trend here. :D</p>

25

<p>AP Bio 5, SAT II E 770 (F*********** horrible test. Active and passive immunity? come on)</p>

<p>Honors Precalc A+, Math II 800</p>

<p>I wholeheartedly disagree. Everyone I know who took APUSH and the SAT II has said the SAT II is a joke.</p>

<p>I did AP-5 SAT II- 800, but the SAT II MC questions were much easier, and the hardest part of APUSH is the DBQ/FRQs. Especially last year’s (2009) ridiculous DBQ on slavery in The 1820s.</p>

27

<p>Bio M: 790/5 (SO CLOSE!)
Chemistry: 800/5</p>

28

<p>I took APEH and both Govs. No SAT IIs for those though, sadly.</p>

<p>Most people I know have 800/5 but some didn’t take both around the same time.</p>

29

<p>I don’t know about you, but I thought the APUSH test was much easier than the SAT subject test I took.</p>

<p>Though, the Chem SAT was easier than the AP test.</p>

<p>^Which year did you take APUSH? I took it 2009, and the general comments from everyone I talked to, both at my high school, and at several others scattered around my area thought that the DBQ and FRQs were terrible (everyone that I know passed the exam regardless), and that made it much harder than the SAT II.</p>

<p>Here’s the link to the exam packet: <a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;

<p>After looking back over it, the 1st FRQ wasn’t terrible, but the DBQ was, and the 2nd FRQ was a bit tough because most USH classes focus on the labour movement in general, naming 10+ organizations and skimming over them, and in World War II, the Japanese internment camps are focused on almost to exclusivity, though depending on the teacher you might get a bit about the Jewish holocaust refugee ship we turned away (forget the name now).</p>

<p>Regardless, the being put on the spot to write 3 essays is, IMO, what makes the AP exam harder. I’m pretty good at MC, so I didn’t find either particularly tough, but I remember feeling that the SAT II was a joke compared to AP, which was probably because it was only 1 hour.</p>

31

<p>I meant the Multiple choice for the SAT subject test was harder than the APUSH test. </p>

<p>I took the May, 2010 APUSH test. I took the June 2010 SAT subject test for USH.</p>

<p>Bio: 5/640
Lit: 5/600</p>

<p>Lol, everyone join me in a group-laugh at my abysmal SATII skills. Bwah-bwahaha-bwahahahahaha. </p>

<p>Seriously though, I must suck donkey testicles at solely multiple choice tests. </p>

<p>^After all, I’m thinking my Lit breakdown was ~70% of MC composite points, and 90-95% of Essay composite points. No clue what the hell happened with Bio.</p>

36

<p>680 USH for me. :/</p>

37

<p>Physics B: 3, 650</p>

<p>Literature
SATII: 680

<p>Math II

<p>US History

<p>Chemistry

AP: 4</p>

<p>I think I just suck at SAT Subject Tests or something…I should get an award for getting the exact same score on every subject test I took, too.</p>

<p>If you’re going to Berkley, then it obviously doesn’t matter. Good for you. My daughter has learned how to bs her way through AP essays. Unfortunately that doesn’t work on SAT IIs. I can’t remember her world history SAT II score but it had to be in the low 600’s. She scored a 4 on the AP exam as a sophomore so I was expecting a higher score. She even scored a 4 on art history this year despite spending the entire year in a Spanish language school in S. America. She self studied the material but her only English writing the entire year was on Facebook.</p>
