Although the SAT may get most of the glory, at many schools the SAT
Subject Tests are just as important when it comes to college admissions.
This is particularly true at highly selective schools and programs,
including schools in the University of California system.*
* Beginning with the freshman class entering in the fall of 2012, the UC schools will no longer require students to take SAT Subject Tests.

How Do SAT Subject Tests
Differ from the SAT?
So, what really are the differences between the two tests?
Many other schools recommend that you take Subject Tests, but don’t make it
a requirement for admission. Translation: take some! If you’re going up against
applicants who have submitted Subject Test scores, your application will look
better if you have them.
In other cases, particular departments of colleges may require Subject Tests. For
example, it’s not uncommon for an engineering department to ask that you take a
Math Level Subject Test even if it’s not listed in the application requirements.
Since the tests are given in specific academic areas, some colleges use them to
decide whether an applicant can earn exemption from certain required courses.
For example, a great score may excuse you from a school’s foreign language
requirement (which can make for a nice start to your college career).

Notes
• The Listening tests are given only once per year in November and at limited test
centers. You must bring your own CD player to the test location because one
will not be provided.
• Many colleges use your scores from these Subject Tests to place you in the
appropriate-level language class.
