What's the Deal with SAT Subject Tests

Yeah, what is the deal?

SAT Subject Tests are one-hour tests that test students’ knowledge in a variety of areas: American History, World History, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Biology, Math Levels 1 & 2, and tons of languages.

Should I take them?

Most selective schools require you to take two Subject Tests of your choosing. If you’re applying to schools such as UVA or William & Mary, you should determine which tests you would score best in, and sign up for those.

What if I’m not applying to one of those “selective schools”?

Including SAT Subject Test scores in your application gives a more complete picture of your academic performance, regardless of whether your school asks for them or not.

If you have a high GPA and want to show colleges that you’re bright, in addition to being a hard worker—consider the SAT Subject Tests.

If your GPA isn’t what it should be, and you’re in fact much smarter than your grades show—consider the SAT Subject Tests.

If your SAT reasoning score wasn’t as high as it could’ve been—consider the SAT Subject tests.
