SAT tips

<p>I noticed that a lot of you have awesome scores on the SATs. Are most of these combined or all from one test? I'm taking mine over and I'm also wondering how you guys studied or if you just went in with no studying.</p>

<p>Also, are SAT II's really like AP tests or is that just a rumor?
I'm thinking about taking the Physics part, but I never took Physics AP. I just took Physics 1A. Is this crazy?</p>

<p>most people list their sat scores as the highest combination of the individual sections. however it does depend on the school. </p>

<p>as to the sat ii's being like the ap tests: they're not as intense. i took the us history and chemistry ap exams and their corresponding sat ii's. the ap ones were more comprehension & analysis (plus essays and short answers) while the sats were more fact-oriented. that was my personal experience. i think that i could have survived both sat ii's with just the honors courses that my school offered which feed into the ap courses.</p>
