SAT Subject Tests are the icing on the cake of your college admission exams experience! Taking a few of the SAT Subject Tests is a great way to 1) demonstrate your proficiency in the subject areas that you intend to pursue in college and 2) either reinforce the solid grades that your received your junior and senior years or compensate for not so solid grades.
Schools use these tests to better understand your strengths (and to contextualize your grades), to assess how ready you are for college level work in these subjects, and to make admissions decisions.
There are 20 SAT Subject Tests that fall into five categories: English, Math, Science, History, and Languages. All of the tests are content-based, hour-long assessments that consist of multiple-choice questions.
