SAT SUBJECT TESTSHELP COLLEGES OBJECTIVELY ASSESS STUDENT KNOWLEDGE & SKILLSSAT Subject Tests provide a reliable, objective assessment of student readiness for college-level work. Designed to measure student knowledge and skills in five major subject areas, the tests assess student ability to apply that knowledge—independent of any particular textbook or method of instruction. Students take the SAT Subject Tests to demonstrate to colleges their mastery of specific subjects such as English, history, mathematics, science, and foreign languages. 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.

THE SUBJECT TESTS ARE A USEFUL PART OF THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS BECAUSE: They are highly reliable & valid A recognized, accurate measure of college readiness and subject-area knowledge A proven method for placing and advising students based on their individual academic preparation A way for students to show their thorough knowledge of a certain subject, as well as their academic interest and determination to succeed
