SAT II vs. APs

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am starting to think about my testing schedule for next year, which will include 2-3 SAT IIs as well as 3-4 AP exams. </p>

<p>I am wondering about the differences and similiarities between AP exams and SAT IIs in corresponding subjects, especially SAT Lit and AP Lit, and APUSH and SAT US, as well as languages. </p>

<p>How did you study differently?
Is studying for one or the other beneficial for both?
Which one is harder? </p>

<p>I've often hear that SAT IIs are more straight-forward, is this true? </p>

<p>And information or personal opinions on the differences would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Yeah dude many ppl say that SAT 2’s are just like “honors-honors” rather than AP college-level courses. As such, preparing just enough for an SAT 2 is not adequate for the AP exam, but preparing for the AP exam is actually kind of overkill for the SAT 2. so pretty much stick w/ ur AP curriculum, and u’ll be set for both.</p>

<p>AP exams are harder than the SAT II. </p>

<p>Taking an AP course in Biology will increase your chances of doing well in SAT II Biology.</p>
