<p>Since the old days, when I rode my dinosaur to college…there has been a big rise in schools asking for SAT subject tests. I am just wondering if applicants can substitute AP scores? It seems a waste to take , say, SAT math 2 and AP calc.</p>

<p>No, the SATs are for fair comparison. They serve totally different purposes, so the SAT subjects are compulsory (if the school says so)</p>

<p>No. Those schools that ask for SAT subject tests are quite clear that it is what they require. None require APs.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any colleges that let you substitute AP scores for SAT subject tests. If they ask for SAT subject test scores, that’s what they want.</p>
