SAT Subject Tests are one-hour tests on specific subjects. On testing days, you can choose which subjects you wish to take, and you pay the same price whether you take one, two, or three tests (the maximum for one day).
SAT II subjects generally fall into the following categories:
- English
- Mathematics
- History
- Science
- Foreign Languages
Colleges often require that applicants take SAT Subject Tests, with some colleges requiring scores from as many as three tests.
The full list of the 20 SAT Subject Tests includes:
