AP world history, SAT subject test
I took the A.P World History course this year. I am taking the A.P exam may 13th, and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to take the SAT subject test in world history? I definitely want to take multiple SAT subject tests and send my 2 best ones into colleges, and i want to know past experiences and advice. Have you taken both exams? Is one easier than the other? Thank you!

SATs are way easier than AP exams, mainly because the APs are more in-depth and detailed.
I would definitely recommend taking the SAT II because it can only help you. If you get a crappy score, you don't have to send it.
Also, don't just send two SAT scores to colleges. The goal is to look as well-rounded as possible. Especially if you get over 700 on the test.
I would recommend taking the SAT II in October. Why? June is when EVERYONE takes the exam and the material is fresh in their minds because it's the end of the year and they've just finished the course. At the beginning of the year, on the other hand, it's been months since they took the class, and unless they've been studying all summer vacation, they probably forgot a lot of material. If you can be diligent about it and study, you should definitely take the SAT II early in the school year, where there will probably be a higher curve.
