Is an AP or Honors course a necessary prerequisite to do well on an SAT Subject Test? Do APs replace SAT Subject Tests?
The Subject Tests do not have a specific recommended curriculum like the APs. Generally speaking, though, the more rigorous the corresponding academic class, the better prepared you are likely to be for the Subject Test. However, other factors include your aptitude for and interest in the subject matter, how well it was taught in school and what the focus of the class was, and, perhaps most importantly, what your other options are for Subject Tests. You should take practice tests to confirm your choices and shed light on any gaps to be filled. Unfortunately, APs are not designed to be admission tests, so they do not replace the need for Subject Tests.
