Colleges require applicants to send SAT Reasoning and Subject scores through CB directly and self report their AP Exam scores when applicants apply for colleges. During the holistic review, both SAT scores and AP Exam scores are evaluated.

It seems to me that the number of AP exams and their scores play as same important role as SAT scores. I do not understand why colleges treat SAT and AP scores differently. Is AP score less important than SAT score? Having self report AP exam scores give errors chances which could effect Admission Officers’ evaluation.

Does any one could share a hint for the issue?
