SAT IIs

<p>

</p>

<p>Both. Also all SATI scores.</p>

<p>Definitely take the US history SATII if you are taking APUSH. My daughter did not do this because she was told that very few colleges require SATIIs and as a sophomore she wasn’t really thinking about it - she thought the AP would be enough.
Now she’s a senior and her top school is Georgetown which requires 3 SATIIs and she had to scramble to get them. She took Bio after AP Bio and while she got a 4 on the AP she didn’t do as well on the SATII. She also tried Math and didn’t do so well on that. Then she had to pick a third and just took the English (and re-took Biology). It’s such a scam - same testing board as AP so shouldn’t the AP test be enough for the colleges - she’s taken 4 APs already and got two fives and two fours.</p>

<p>The colleges could save us a lot of money by simply deciding to allow applicants to submit AP scores in lieu of SAT Subject Tests, at least for certain subjects where the tests cover much of the same material. U.S. History is perhaps the best example of sheer test-taking redundance that could easily be eliminated.</p>

<p>Good info!!</p>

<p>Just wondered, if I might, – what is APUSH?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Advanced Placement United States History</p>

<p>“He claimed that close to half of the multiple choice questions on the SAT II were either identical to questions on the APUSH exam or slight variations (e.g., same answers, but different question, or same text to read but somewhat different questions about it).”</p>

<p>I’ll chime in with same experience. My son got a 5 on the AP and an 800 on the SAT2 and was astounded by both scores.</p>

<p>I’m jealous. My daughter only got a 790 to go with her 5.</p>
