Tips for SAT II Subject Tests

Collegeboard, the administrator of the SAT II Subject Tests, provides the following tips to increase your score:

 

1.   Take the SAT Subject Tests when the content is fresh in your mind.

2.   Become familiar with the organization of the tests you are interested in, the types of test questions, and test day procedures.

3.   Do the easier questions first.

4.   Know how the tests are scored. You get one point for each right answer and lose a fraction of a point for each wrong answer. You neither gain nor lose points for omitting an answer.

5.   Know the test directions ahead of time

6.   Guess smart. You should omit questions only when you really have no idea how to answer them.

7.   Use the test book for scratch work but mark your answers on the separate answer sheet.

8.   Don't make extra marks on the answer sheet.

9.   Get familiar with the SAT Subject Tests answer sheet.

10. You may use a calculator on the Mathematics Level 1 & 2 tests only.

11. Bring an acceptable CD player and extra batteries for the listening tests.
