Whenever I studied for an AP, it covered my SAT II, so I never really studied for an SAT II. But that will definitely prep you to get at least 90% of the stuff on a SO test right.

For science bowl, it will be useful, but the real difference in SB is to know the little facts. You’ll still see some problem where you have to convert mass to moles, or figure out the complement to a strand of DNA, or something you’d do in an AP, but think of how the tests are made. Science Bowl is very quick. You don’t have that much time work out a problem, whereas in APs and SO, you need to work out some problems.

With APs, you should have a steady base for regional/state level competitions in both.
