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?
- English—Writing,
Literature
- Math—Math IC, Math IIC

Chemistry, Physics
- Foreign

Where
Are the SAT IIs Required?
Most selective colleges and the entire University of
California system require students to take the SAT and three
SAT II tests. Many colleges require at least one SAT II
Subject Test, and some require three: Writing, Math and one
more. 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.
