<p>I'm entering my junior year and my first choice college requires two SAT subject tests. I'm considering math 2, biology and physics. How do these SATs compare with the AP tests for these subjects? Also I would really appreciate any advice/information on studying for these subject tests. For example, what are the topics covered most often, and how difficult is each test?</p>
<p>i don’t really know. but a 4 on the AP would probably mean 730+ on the subject tests.</p>

<p>A 4 on an AP generally means that the person has answered a little over 50% of the questions correctly. Answering only 50% of the questions right on any SAT II does not translate to a 730.</p>
<p>SAT Physics is very similar to the multiple choice section on the Physics B AP test. There are a few differences in concepts though. SAT Physics has relativity while Physics B doesn’t. Also, fluids aren’t on the SAT, but they are on the AP test. There are probably other ones too, I just can’t remember.
To me, SAT Physics was extremely easy, especially compared to the AP test. Got an 800 on it, and I’m still waiting on my AP Physics B score.</p>

<p>the AP tests are harder.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, all the subject SATs are easier than the APs because they do not go in-depth.</p>
<p>Thanks all! All answered are very helpful!</p>
<p>AP Chemistry 5 = 700 SAT Chemistry
AP Physics C 5,5 = 740 SAT Physics
AP USH 4 = 690 SAT USH
AP Calc BC 5 = 780 SAT Math 2</p>
<p>AP tests gave you more time to finish.
SAT test is too short for me.</p>
<p>^ interesting data :).</p>
<p>My one score:</p>
<p>APUSH predicted 3 or 4 with lots of studying, and then a 770 on the subject test with no studying a couple of weeks later.</p>
