I got a Chemistry - 790 / AP - 5 ... For me the AP test was very mathmatical and got extremely complex at times. The SAT test was very simple, but they tested stuff that you may not be used to. For example, they might ask the color of some random chemical, or the name of some lab equipment for an experiment. Also the T/T/CE questions were really hard for me, because it's so basic, conceptual stuff that is rushed over in AP (at least for us) just barely, and I really expected like a 720, so there must be a decent curve where like -3/-4 = 790?
