The SAT Reasoning Test includes Critical Reading, Math, and Writing sections and it is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with two writing subscores for multiple-choice and the essay.

SAT Subject Test

The SAT Subject Test (formerly SAT II: Subject Tests) quantifies test takers’ knowledge in specific areas and their skills to pertain that knowledge. These tests are independent of any particular textbook or method of instruction. Some students take one or more of these tests to differentiate themselves from others. Others take them as a requirement for their choice of college or university.

The SAT subjects are Math (Level 1 & 2), English, History & Social Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Foreign Languages (Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, & Korean).
