<p>Do you take one subject test at a time? Can you take two subject tests the same day? Also do student take same subject test twice like they do regular SAT? Please help, I'm a clueless mom...</p>
<p>You can take up to three at one time. All the tests are in the same book, so you can take whichever three tests you want when you get there. You can take Subject Tests multiple times if you want. </p>
<p>Hi @irisd99,
SAT subject tests, sometimes referred to as SAT II’s - are basically condensed AP exams without any free response or open response portion - they’re all multiple choice. They offer subject tests in a wide variety of subjects which can be found on College Board’s website with further details explaining the nature of the exam: here’s the list of subject tests offered-- </p>
<p>Literature
U.S. History
World History
Math Level 1
Math Level 2
Biology/EM
Chemistry
Physics
French
French with Listening
German
German with Listening
Spanish
Spanish with Listening
Modern Hebrew
Italian
Latin
Chinese with Listening
Japanese with Listening
Korean with Listening</p>
<p>A student may take up to three tests at their discretion at one time - one after the other - they can pre-register for three exams ahead of time and only decide to take one or two that day without penalty - similarly, a student can register to take one and decide to take a second or third on test day - College Board will then bill you for the additional tests taken. A student is handed a single booklet (it’s pretty thick, like the size of a small paperback text book) where they are able to flip to the test they wish to take and begin the multiple choice in their answer booklet. Even if a student registered for Latin, US History, and Literature, they may decide on the day of the test that they want to take World History, Biology, and Spanish instead - that’s perfectly okay, since the student needs to bubble in the corresponding subject name at the top of their answer sheet.</p>
<p>The test is graded out of 800 (just like a single section of the SAT I) - usually colleges that require subject tests (think Harvard, Yale, Wellesley, MIT calibre) tend to require two - sometimes in specific subjects (like Harvard may require <em>any</em> two whereas MIT may require Physics and Math II). </p>
<p>Many students do retake subject tests if they aren’t satisfied with their score - usually a second time; rarely a third. Many kids take the subject test which corresponds with the AP that they are currently enrolled in - they’ll usually sit with the test around the same time they sit for their AP exams.</p>
<p>Good luck! </p>
<p>Thank you for a very valuable information, starting to make sense of it all…</p>
