SAT Subject Test: SAT II

What's That Spell?
Originally, SAT stood for Scholastic Aptitude Test. When the test changed a few years ago, the official name was changed to Scholastic Assessment Test. In 1997, the testmakers announced that SAT no longer stands for anything, officially. The SAT Subject Tests were recently referred to as SAT II: Subject Tests, or more commonly, SAT IIs. The “II” is gone but the tests remain the same.


The SAT-II subject tests are one hour, primarily multiple-choice tests that measure your knowledge of particular subjects and your ability to apply that knowledge. Many universities may require you to take this along with SAT-I. In contrast to the SAT Reasoning Test, each SAT Subject Test is designed to test your knowledge in a particular academic area, rather than your general reasoning skills.


An Achievement Test by any other name... The SAT II is a set of more than 20 different tests focusing on specific disciplines such as English, History and Social Sciences, Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Foreign Languages. Each Subject Test lasts one hour and consists entirely of multiple-choice questions, except for the Writing Test, which has a 20-minute essay section in addition to a 40-minute multiple-choice section.
