SAT

This contains Critical Reading, Writing, and Math and an optional essay test.  The SAT is taken more frequently as an admissions test by students outside the Midwest, especially on the East and West coasts.  Universities will often accept the ACT or the SAT.  Please check each school's admissions site for specific requirements.

SAT Subject Tests

You should also consider whether the colleges that you’re interested in require or recommend Subject Tests. Some colleges will grant an exemption from or credit for a freshman course requirement if a student does well on a particular SAT Subject Test.  Some colleges and universities require one or more Subject Tests along with the SAT. You may use the same registration form to register for both tests.  We would advise that you check with the campus you plan on applying to for specific admission requirements. 

If your school requires SAT Subject Tests, are you wondering which test to take?  There are 20 Subject Tests across five general subject areas: history, mathematics, science, English and foreign languages. The SAT Subject Tests that you take should be based on your interests and academic strengths. The tests are a great way to indicate interest in specific majors or programs of study (e.g., engineering, pre-med, cultural studies).
