SAT II (Subject Test) |
|
| |
The SAT II Subject Tests are designed to measure specific knowledge in particular academic areas like Biology or World History. Each Subject Test is an hour long and you can take from one to three in one day. Students take the Subject Tests to demonstrate to colleges their mastery over specific subjects like English, History, Mathematics, Science and Languages. The test scores are independent of any particular textbook or method of instruction. Many colleges still consider Subject Test scores in the admission process, even if they do not require the tests. You can show your deep knowledge of a certain subject, as well as your academic interest and determination to succeed, by taking the subject test. |
