| What are the
SAT II Subject Tests and how are they structured? |
The SAT II Subject Tests are one-hour
exams in a variety of high school subjects. The tests
are entirely multiple choice except for the Writing
exam, which includes a short essay. The SAT IIs are
administered six times a year, and not all subject
tests are administered on every test date.
|
| What Tests are
Available to Take? |
• Math—Math IC, Math IIC
• History—American History/Social Studies,
World History
• Sciences—Biology, Chemistry, Physics
• Foreign Languages—Chinese, French, German,
Modern Hebrew,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Spanish
• English Language Proficiency
|
| Where Are the
SAT IIs Required? |
|
Most selective colleges and the entire University
of California system require students to take the
SAT and two SAT II tests. While some colleges
use the Subject Tests for admission, other schools
use the exam results for course placement. Even
if SAT II subject tests are not required for admission,
a strong SAT II score may help to offset other areas
of weakness on your application.
|
| How are the SAT
IIs scored? |
| You will receive one score for each
Subject Test that you take. Each test is scored individually
on a scale of 200-800. The national average score
varies from test to test. For this reason, you shouldn't
compare scores across the different Subject Tests.
For more detailed national average score information,
visit the College
Board’s website. |
| Can I Cancel
My Scores? |
|
Yes. If you finish
the test and think you may want to cancel your scores,
you should ask the test supervisor for a "Request
to Cancel Test Scores" form. You may submit
the completed form immediately at the testing center,
or you can think about it for a day or two before
mailing it to ETS. However, ETS must receive your
request form no later than the Wednesday after the
test.
|
| When Should I
Take the SAT IIs? |
| Most students take Subject Tests toward
the end of their junior year or at the beginning of
their senior year. However, if you expect to study
one of these subjects in high school (Physics, for
example), plan to take the related SAT II immediately
after finishing that course. You can take up to three
Subject Tests on a single test date. However, you
cannot take the SAT and SAT II on the same day. |
| How Do I Register
for the SAT IIs? |
| For the most accurate information on
exam dates and corresponding subject tests, talk to
your high school guidance counselor or visit http://www.ets.org
or http://www.collegeboard.com.
Registration deadlines fall approximately five weeks
before each test date. |
