SAT Subject Tests- Demystified

sat II'sThe SAT Subject Tests offer you an additional opportunity to show colleges what you know and what you know you can do. There are 20 Subject Tests.

Many colleges use the SAT Subject Tests for as an admission requirement, for course placement, and to advise students about course selection. Some colleges specify which SAT Subject Tests that they require for admission or placement; others allow applicants to choose which tests to take.
Things you should definitely know!:
  • Students may take up to three SAT Subject Tests on a single test date.
  • Students cannot take the SAT Subject Tests and the SAT during the same test administration.
  • Students must indicate which SAT Subject Tests they plan to take when they register for a test. However, they may change which tests they take up to the test date-except for Language with Listening Tests. This applies to center testing only (not school-based testing, which involves student-specific materials that may not be available).
  • Calculators may be used only on the Mathematics Level 1 and Level 2 SAT Subject Tests. Students may not use calculators for other SAT Subject Tests and must put them away when not taking a mathematics test.
  • The Language with Listening Tests are always given in the first hour of testing. Only one listening test can be taken per test date.
  • The SAT Subject Tests offered on each test date are subject to change. The tests offered on each test date will be confirmed prior to opening of test registration for the 2012-2013 school year.
