There are several factors to consider when planning to take SAT Subject Tests. Not all tests are given on all test dates, and students cannot take Subject Tests on the same day as the SAT. Students can take up to three SAT Subject Tests on a single test date, and can decide which ones to take on the day of the exam. Each Subject Test is 60 minutes long. Colleges that honor score choice on the SAT also honor score choice for Subject Tests, which means students can pick and choose which Subject Test scores you submit. Advanced planning is essential for maximizing Subject Test scores since students perform best if they take a test immediately after finishing their class in the subject. In addition, some tests are given only once or twice during the year.
SAT Subject Tests are scored on the same 200-800 scale as the SAT. Percentile scores for Subject Tests can be misleading as they often indicate a skewed testing population. For example, only 27,000 students take the Physics test each year, so it is logical to assume that most are quite good at Physics. The best way for students to decide which Subject Tests to try is to take official diagnostic tests to see exactly what is on the test and gauge their level of preparedness. Below is a list of all subjects currently offered.
