Yes. AP tests and SAT subject tests (formerly SAT II) are not comparable. Many schools require a certain number or specific SAT subject tests, and APs are not exchangable.

They serve totally different purposes, too. The SAT is occasionally used for placement or (more rarely) credit and tests high school curriculum knowledge. They’re used for admissions mostly. AP is originally intended to be used for placement or credit, not so much for admissions. It tests college material and is completely different in format.

Certainly it would be a good idea to take the US History SAT 2 in May or June of the year when you are taking the course. The class should prepare you well. However, I did take the US History test and only scored a 700 on it (which was the 75th percentile), even though I got a 5 on the AP test (maybe I was better at writing history essays, I don’t know). I think the AP course should prepare you well enough for the SAT test so long as you have a good teacher (mine wasn’t–we stopped reading the textbook before we even made it to the Woodrow Wilson administration; maybe that explains the 700).

You probably shouldn’t base your decision on whether to take the SAT literature test on the fact that you are taking an AP English course. You should probably decide that based on your critical reading score on the PSAT or SAT or your ability to (in a timed setting) read multiple choice passages and answer questions about them. You can usually get through the AP English exam by your ability to write good essays if you can do reasonably well (as in like at least 1/3 correct) on the Multiple Choice reading passages. That won’t be the case on the SAT lit exam–it tests your ability to read passages.

If you aren’t so strong at reading passages quickly and answering questions about them quickly, it may be a better idea to take one of the math tests or to pick another area.

omg yes! that’s what i plan to do. those two tests are used for two different reasons. the SAT II is used for admissions while the AP test is used for possible placement. you’re better off taking the SAT II in a subject that you’re familiar with and that you’ve alreadt studied for.
