Honestly welcome change. The SAT Subject tests (at least for people around me in HS) were always considered as a much easier test you'd take after the AP for that very same subject. I just equated it to another way for collegeboard to get money especially since the questions were way more straightforward than AP. I am slightly concerned about what this means for schools where AP classes are not offered (I imagine SAT Subject tests presented the most accessible opportunity for these students to demonstrate their aptitude in a subject).
EDIT: changed wording in response to child comment.
- mattmcknight 7y agoYou can take the AP test without taking an AP course.
- abhisuri97 7y agoYep! But there are a few more barriers in the way if your school does not offer AP courses (you'd need to find neighboring schools that do allow it and talk to the AP coordinator at that school). For subject tests, there are pretty minimal barriers associated with signing up. You just register as you normally would for an SAT exam IIRC.
