<p>Just wondering since I will be taking all three next year.</p>
<p>Pretty similar</p>
<p>For Bio, the questions are very similar in format. There is much over lap. If you do well in AP, the subject test won’t be a problem. Like, at all.</p>
<p>I found the US History subject test to match very closely with the AP test. (taking the subject test the day after the AP test is nice too!)</p>
<p>APUSH- either a 4 or 5 (leaning 5)
SAT USH (taken 4 weeks later)- 770</p>
<p>The Biology Subject Test matches up with the AP test, except that the Subject Test is 86147826814X easier. No short answer(arguably the hardest part of the AP test) and the MC are much simplier and easier and covering slightly less content. I would recommend taking the June Subject Test (or the May one ONLY if it is after the AP test which im not sure it is) because once you study for and take the AP test you literally dont even have to study for the SAT. I took the AP test in May and studied a ton for it and then in June I took the SAT subject bio test and studied 15 minutes the night before and scored a 790 (shoulda been an 800, YEAST IS A FUNGUS not a prokaryote haha)</p>
<p>@stewta4 wouldn’t it be easier just to take it in may because it’ll be around the same time studying for the AP test? So you don’t forget anything? Or is it better to wait and take more practice tests?</p>
<p>I will be taking the AP Physics B class next year, & had physics honors this year. I took the SAT Physics after Physics Honors & received a 760.
I’ve looked over the curriculum for AP Physics B & it is very,very similar to the subject test curriculum, albeit a little harder. Doing good in APPB should =770+</p>
<p>US and Bio are pretty close… I took them and got 790 and 770, respectively. I feel like I got a 5 on both APs</p>
<p>@schoolisfun &lightsthatstopme did you do extra prep for the subject tests? </p>
<p>Oh and if anyone knows, are there curves on any if these subject tests?</p>
<p>For physics, I self studied >60% as my class only covered mechanics & didn’t even get to gravitation & keplar, etc.
I used Princeton Review. However, I may retake it when I’m taking the Chemistry & USH subject tests. I know 760 is a great score, but meh.
Physics has a great curve, I think its about -8 WRONG for an 800</p>

<p>SAT II Bio: I got a 5 on the AP as a freshman, but I’m retaking the SAT II as a senior come October. Is CliffsAP good enough to get an 800 on the SAT II?</p>
<p>@alwaysleah, only if the Subject Test is after. Studies have shown that the top way people learn things is taking a real test with pressure, the AP test, it helps you learn bio even better not to mention all the studying before it. The AP test has many things that are not on the Subject Test so you would be wasting your time studying some stuff before the subject test. You shouldn’t forget your extensive studying and year of learning in 4 weeks.</p>
<p>Plus if you take the AP test first the subject test will seem easy, but if you take the subject test first the AP test will seem way harder.</p>
<p>I thought the APUSH MC was pretty similar to the MC on the SAT II.</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought the AP was harder though.</p>
<p>I only prepped for APs</p>
<p>I took the APUSH test the day before my subject test. APUSH MC was harder than SAT II’s MC. SAT II’s had direct answers unlike the APUSH test’s ambiguous answers.</p>
<p>^ I don’t know about you, but I thought both were incredibly easy. Except for the part where, on the SAT II, I decided to be stupid and choose Russia as not part of the Allies.</p>
