<p>Is the APUSH test comparable to the SAT USH exam?</p>
<p>Like if I can get a 4 on the AP Exam, can I get 700+ on the SAT?</p>
<p>easily. The SAT version is way easier than the AP.</p>
<p>Disagreed, a 5 on the AP is way easier than a 700+ on the SAT.</p>
<p>Source: personal experience I had just a few weeks ago</p>
<p>I have to agree with mathmathmathmath, I took the May SAT subject test for US, then the APUSH exam, and APUSH was much more broad and thematic than the SAT subject test. That’s just me, though.</p>
<p>I took the subject test in May while I was prepping for the AP. I didn’t do any special prep for the SAT (aside from one untimed practice test to familiarize myself with the format), aside from what I was already doing for the AP. SAT focuses more on specifics while AP is a bit more general, but I had no problem with the SAT (my score was a 780, 4 on the AP).</p>
<p>OK, better question. Are you good with knowing specific things (likes Dawes Servalty Act) or more broad thematic questions (like women’s rights in the 1910s)?</p>
<p>I’m better with facts instead of trends, but i don’t know about you.</p>
<p>The SAT version is, in my opinion, much easier than the AP exam. A 5 on the AP exacted a greater toll on my nerves than an 800 on the SAT II exam. However, the SAT II does require an in-depth knowledge of some of the more esoteric events in United States History. I enjoy memorizing trivia and nonsense, so I did not have too much difficulty with that. If that’s not your thing, then perhaps you should re-think your opinion on the facile nature of this exam.</p>
<p>I really feel as if the SAT version was actually much more difficult than the AP. I recieved a 4 on the AP yet ended up scoring a 630 on the SAT II(after reviewing). I couldn’t really pinpoint the difference, but overall the SAT seemed more difficult.</p>
<p>^Well, then in that case, I’d say it is because the SAT II is more detail-oriented. The question that sticks in my mind is one about Samuel Gompers and what a particular picture of him represented. Again, I like this stuff, so I happened to know it, but if U.S. History is not one of your strengths, reconsider.</p>
<p>And dannav247, did you take the SAT II exam immediately upon completing the course, or did you wait until a few months later?</p>
<p>when people say more detail oriented, how much more, the AP wasn’t too bad, and its only been 2 weeks since I took it, and the SAT II is on the 5th, so should it be easy for that knowledge to translate into a 750+ on the Subject Test.</p>
<p>yeah, agree with mathmathmath. I got a 710 on the May SAT US History test, but feel pretty confident I’ll get a 5 on the AP Exam. I thought the AP exam overall was easier. I guess they MC sections are supposed to be the same in difficulty, but some discrepancies make some people think one is harder than the other.</p>
