World History AP & SAT subject test / 2/ II?





Hey I took the World History AP test about mid May and now I am signed up for the World History SAT II. The thing is I just started taking the test on the REA preparation book for SAT II and it is much much much harder and specific then what I encountered on the AP exam. Is the SAT subject test really more specific then the AP test?

Thanks for answering
to first poster, Yeah I know AP classes really are useless, like it doesn’t help only makes it easier to register for classes. But it sort of looks better for colleges along with a GPA boost.
to 2nd poster:……………………………..
to 3rd poster: Yeah like what the heck is the Velvet Revolution I learned nothing that specific and the AP test multiple choice was nothing like that. I didn’t even bother to score my 1st practice test because I did so badly and knew like crud. Hopefully it will be more AP oriented multiple choice.

What courses,SAT scores, GPA and other tests should I take to get into the top Universities?

I want to know what grades I should aim for to get into a top school. It doesn’t have to be Harvard or anything.

I’m going to be a junior next year.And I am signed on for two AP Classes: US History and AP English Comp.

My average is a low 90, but I do have a 95 average in English, a 98 average in Global History, an 97 average in Italian, a 88 average in math(trigonometry) and a 88 average in Chemistry.So far (haven’t gotten final scores yet).

also, do universities look at the whole academic average or just the academics? I go to a Performing Arts School and my music classes are averaged into my grades.

any info would help. Thanks

ACT v.s. SAT test? Difference? Most important? Harder?

*What are the main differences between the SAT and ACT?
*Which one is more important (I am college-bound)?
*Which is more difficult?

From what I’ve seen while flipping through AP exam prep books, I do like the Barron’s books, so…

*Should I invest in a Barron’s ACT and Barron’s SAT prep book?
*If I should, should I get them with or without CD’s?

I only want to buy them if they’ll really be helpful, as my AP teachers have required their students to purchase some sort of AP test booklet, and I’m taking 4 AP classes at the moment, so I’m trying to save from whatever angle I can, but if they’ll really help me…
