<p>Which test has more weight? </p>
<p>Will a 5 on AP Bio balance a 700 SAT subject test?</p>
<p>In terms of difficulty, I think the 5 is more impressive (a 700 is not extremely high), but in terms of admissions a 700 would be more valuable since most selective schools use AP scores for placement and not necessarily admission.</p>
<p>if i send both will they realize my potential and disregard a low SAT II?</p>
<p>I would send in both. Whatever gives the admissions office the best view of you as an applicant is good.</p>
<p>yeah, but people need to realize you get only 80% of the questions right on the ap for a 5, whereas on the sats you need to get at least 95% of the questions right to get an 800</p>
<p>^ True, but you also need to realize that the SAT II tests are generally much easier and more basic than the AP exams.</p>
<p>I suspect I got a 4 on the AP chem exam, yet I’d be surprised if I get below 750 this Saturday.</p>
<p>EDIT: And for most AP exams, you don’t even need 80% right for a 5.</p>
<p>yeah that is true</p>
