SAT Subject Tests

Students take the SAT Subject Tests to demonstrate to colleges their mastery of specific subjects such as English, history, mathematics, science, and foreign languages. Competitive colleges usually require students to take anywhere between 2 or 3 SAT Subject Tests. The content of each test is not based on any one approach or curriculum but rather evolves to reflect current trends in high school course work. There is one score per test, scale of 200-800. All the questions are exclusively multiple-choice. Some language tests involve a listening component.

Math Level 1

Tests: Algebra, geometry, basic trigonometry, Algebraic functions, elementary statistics, logic, elementary number theory, and arithmetic and geometric sequences.

Math Level 2
Tests: Algebra, three-dimensional and coordinate geometry, Trigonometry, functions, probability, permutations, combinations, logic, proofs, elementary number theory, sequences, and limits.

Biology

Tests: Understanding of general biology at the college preparatory level, recall and comprehension of the major concepts of biology, and the ability to apply the principles learned to solve specific problems in biology.
