different schools where course preparation and academic
backgrounds may vary widely.

Study the
descriptions of the tests, directions, and sample
questions in this book. For Listening Tests, ask your
counselor for a copy of the practice audio CD that
was sent to your school.

Some
tests, such as the Chemistry Subject Test, may have
directions you will need to know before you take the
test, so you’re not surprised or confused on test day.
Subject Test results can be added to your portfolio to
support your competency in academic areas, even if the
tests are not required by colleges to which you’re applying.

SAT Subject Tests
Preparation Booklet

Take tests such as United States History, Biology E/M,
Chemistry, or Physics as soon as possible after you
complete the course, while the material is still fresh in
your mind.
Language Tests with Listening

Bring an acceptable CD player to the test center.
Your CD player
MUST
be
1. equipped with earphones
2. portable(handheld)
3. batteryoperated

You’ll do better on other tests like languages after at
least two years of study.
The Day Before the Tests

You are not allowed to use a CD player with
recording or duplicating capabilities.
Make sure your CD player is in good working order.
Insert new batteries the day before the test. You may
bring additional batteries and a backup player to the
test center. Test center staff will not have batteries,
CD players, or earphones for your use.

Make sure your calculator is in good working order if
you are taking a Mathematics Test.


Make sure your CD player with earphones is in good
working order if you are taking a listening test.

You may not share a CD player with another
test-taker.
Test Day

If the volume on your CD player disturbs other test-
takers,
the test center supervisor may ask you to move
to another seat.
Test-Taking Approaches

Answer the easy questions fi rst.
Mark only one
answer for each question.

If your CD player malfunctions:
1.
Raise your hand and tell the test supervisor.
2.
Switch to backup equipment, if you have it, and
continue to test.
3.
You may cancel your score on the listening test
if you do not have backup equipment. Scores for
other Subject Tests you take that day will not be
canceled.

Pace yourself.
Answer the questions you know fi rst
and come back later to those you didn’t know.

Guess smart.
If you can rule out one or more answers
as wrong, your chances of guessing correctly among
the remaining choices improve.

Omit questions only when you have no idea how to
answer them.

If you encounter problems with your CD, such as
occasional skipping, try to work through the
problem and keep testing if possible. If necessary,
raise your hand and ask the supervisor for a
replacement CD. If a replacement is not available,
a makeup test will be arranged.

Use your test book for scratch work.
Transfer your
answers to your answer sheet. You will receive credit
ONLY for what is written on your answer sheet.

Mark your answer in the correct column.
The answer
sheet has fi ve circles for each question. Some questions,
though, have only three or four possible answers.
Erasing Answers
If you need to erase an answer, erase it as completely as
possible.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you start a test and
decide that you are not ready for it, you should cancel
your scores. Do not erase all your answers. You must
complete a cancellation form.
After the Tests
Most, but not all, scores will be reported online several
weeks after the test date. Your score report will also be
mailed to you and to the high school, colleges, universities,
and scholarship programs you indicated when you
registered or when you sent additional scores.
Canceling Scores
If you want to cancel your scores, you must cancel scores
for ALL Subject Tests you take at an administration unless
your equipment malfunctions. (See column on the right
for CD player malfunctions and page 18 for calculator
malfunctions.)
