<p>Hey everyone!
I just had a question. I recently took the AP World History exam, and I'm planning on taking the SAT Subject Test II for World History.
What's the difference between the two? (Other than the fact that one is AP, and other is SAT II, and that one has an essay and the other doesn't...). Such as format, etc.
Which one is harder?
I bought the Kaplan AP World History book 2013-2014 version; should I purchase another book that is tailored towards SAT WH?</p>
<p>Best wishes!</p>
<p>AP is supposed to be college level while subject tests are high school level.</p>
<p>Additionally its 95 questions in 60 minutes, so it should be more difficult (time wise). If you think you did well on your AP exam then you should take it.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, the SAT World History is more factual recall, while AP World History requires you to analyze questions. A lot of people find the SAT World History to actually be more difficult, but it depends on what type of questions you are better at answering. Since you took the AP World History exam, you’ll have a slightly higher advantage! I would recommend Barron’s AP World History for the SAT World History for the content, but you could also use your Kaplan book to practice the type of questions 
Good luck!</p>
