Specifically AP US History vs SAT II US History.

Which is harder to score a high percentile on? I guess I’m asking which has more knowledgeable people taking it?

I’m thinking SAT II since most of the people that take it want to apply to Ivies/top tier schools, but I think at the same time there are a lot of unqualified people who just take it on a whim, while for the AP almost everyone who takes it has taken a college level class.

What do you think?
