SAT Subject Tests
The SAT Subject Tests, or
SATIIs, is the collective name for 20 multiple choice standardized tests
given on individual subjects. A student typically chooses which tests to
take depending upon college entrance requirements for the schools to
which he or she is planning to apply. Every test is now a one-hour timed
test. A student may take upto three SAT Subject Tests on any given date.
Prior to the first administration of the new SAT (which includes the
writing section) in March, 2005, some highly selective colleges required
applicants to take three SAT Subject tests, including the writing test
and two other tests of the applicant's choosing, in addition to the SAT.
However, with writing now a standard component of the SAT I, most
selective colleges recommend applicants to submit scores for any two SAT
Subject tests.
Engineering schools typically
require Chemistry or Physics and prefer Math Level 2. A handful of the
most competitive schools, such as Harvard University and Princeton
University, still require three Subject tests in addition to the three
sections of the SAT.
It is important to consult the
school's website to find out more information about Subject test
requirements. Our Subject Test preparation courses consist of five
one-hour private sessions with a tutor specialized in the relevant
topic. It features a combination of subject specific exercises and
materials and the attention of a private tutor to direct the preparation
in such a way that each individual student receives the maximum benefit.
Additional sessions may be added at the discretion of the student.
