Personally, I would say its based on you. There are free response sections on APs, which in some peoples cases makes it harder. But on the other hand its only graded out of 5, so just barely getting a 5 makes no difference in regards to getting a high 5.

In SAT IIs, you can’t hide anything. What you get is what you get. But on the otherhand, you have a straight forward multiple choice section that is shorter in time.

To shaheiruddin, I disagree, I feel that APs are more important than SAT IIs, since they only roll around once a year. Whereas you can take SAT IIs over almost every month. Plus AP tests can give you up to 8 credits (sciences) and save a lot of money in college.
