SAT II's

SAT II tests are subject specific and show a college admissions office that you have "mastery of specific subjects." You will register online just as you do for the SAT I test.

It is important to know that a student cannot take an SAT I and an SAT II test on the same test date. But, you can take more than one SAT II on the same date. In fact, a student may test on up to three subject areas on the same day.

A student will also want to know if an SAT II is required. Some schools may give you an option of using the ACT or the SAT plus 2 SAT II's. Here is a partial listing of colleges and universities that require the SAT II subject tests. Be sure to check with the admissions offices of the schools you are interested in for their specific requirements.

If it is required, try and schedule your SAT II's close to the date of an AP test. Studying for an AP exam will help prepare you for your subject mastery.
