SAT Subject Tests
SAT Subject Tests are hour-long, content-based tests that allow students to showcase their skills in specific subject areas. Primarily highly selective colleges require or recommend that a student take SAT Subject Tests. Students typically take SAT Subject Tests in areas that they are taking advanced courses in, such as AP English Literature & Composition or AP Physics.
If a student is applying to selective schools, he/she typically needs to submit a minimum of two Subject Tests. Additionally, elite colleges and universities look for students whose scores are in the 700s (out of 800 points). Strong scores can mean not only admission to a school but also exemption from certain college requirements.
