SAT II Subject Tests
HOW ARE SAT II SCORES USED?
SAT II scores are used by colleges in two basic ways. First, scores may be used by a college to decide
which students to accept. Colleges typically consider a wide range of factors, including grades, SAT
scores, teacher recommendations, and extracurricular activities. An SAT II score in a particular subject
can give an admissions officer one more measure of an applicant’s academic achievements. Second,
colleges use scores to guide students in structuring their course of study. For example, a good score on a
particular Subject Test might suggest that a student should be exempted from taking a basic course and
proceed directly to a more advanced level.
WHICH TESTS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
To decide which tests you should take, consult the catalogs of the colleges to which you are applying.
Determine what tests, if any, are required. In addition, try to determine whether there is any advantage to
taking one or another subject test. For example, you may be exempted from taking a freshman English
composition course or part of a foreign language requirement if you score well enough on the appropriate
test. That would give you more flexibility in structuring your curriculum.
WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE SAT II TESTS?
SAT II tests are given six times each year. For test dates and other information, contact your guidance
counselor or the College Board:
By mail: College Board SAT Program, Box 6200, Princeton, NJ 08541-6200
By phone: (609) 771-7600 (8:30

You should be aware that not every test is given at each administration. Again, consult the catalogs from
the colleges to which you are thinking of applying. A school may have a deadline for receiving scores. In
that event, you will have to take the test sufficiently in advance of that deadline to ensure your scores will
be received in time.
