Alright so I'm taking the SAT IIs in two days, and I'm kinda buggin' at this point. I took AP Bio and APUSH last year and got 5s on the exams, but didn't take the SAT IIS back then (stupid I know). So I was wondering in terms of difficulty how do the two compare, are there written portions, general format, etc. I'm also taking Lit, mostly cause I heard that was similar to the CR portion of the SAT which I got an 800, so I figured that was a good move. Any advice on that one would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks!

lol I was in your boat, same exact scores. Get the official test book. There are is no writing at all, 60 multiple choice questions that you have an hour to answer, that are easier and broader in scope then their AP counterparts, Literature is harder then Critical Reading, me and my friend took it after recieving perfect CR scores and got 740 and 750 each respectively. For Biology, go with your strength obviously, but personally I went with ecology because it's common sense, yes molecular has a better curve but if you don't remember the products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration this long after the AP test I'd say it's a safer bet. US history is easy if you know US history (duh lol) except for a few really obscure questions (I read the textbook cover to cover and that didn't come up!) but the curve takes care of them, if you did well on the multiple choice for the AP test you're fine. I got 800 on both US and Bio tests btw.
