SAT Subject Tests are high school-level tests, reflecting high school curricula. These tests indicate a student’s readiness to take college-level courses in specific subject areas. AP Exams, however, assess a student’s college-level knowledge, skills and abilities, learned in the corresponding AP courses. As a result, the topics covered on SAT Subject Tests may differ from those covered on AP Exams. while AP Exams are also an excellent way to demonstrate understanding in specific subject areas, not all students have an opportunity to take AP courses in a range of subjects. For students who lack access to AP and still wish to demonstrate subject knowledge, the Subject Tests offer this opportunity. Also, students who are taking an AP course in the senior year may not have their AP Exam score to report to colleges in time to meet admission deadlines. In this case, they could use Subject Test scores to show their mastery in the subject.

The test/exam is administered by the Collegeboard (USA) in conjunction with GIEVA in Nigeria. The exam is arranged for about seven(7) to eight(8) times in a year and it is just one examination per month. Students are advised to plan ahead for their examinations as registration closes a few weeks to the exam date

If there are some practice questions or topics that you’re not familiar with, don’t worry. Though it’s possible you haven’t covered every single topic on the test, you do not have to get every question on each test correct to receive the highest score. Many students do well on the tests despite not having studied every topic covered on the test. If you’re still concerned, seek help from your teacher to review the topics that you’re not familiar with.

The questions on the SAT Subject Tests are developed by high school teachers, college professors, and other education experts. This diverse group makes sure that the tests reflect what you’re learning in school. After the questions are developed, they are reviewed and pretested at high schools across the country to ensure that each question is fair for students from all backgrounds.

The minimum score accepted by educational institutions (schools) varies as it differs from school to school. Each school usually sets its own minimum score, so a prospective student will need to contact the admission office of his/her school of interest.

Also, consider subjects that you excel in or may want to major in, to showcase your strengths and interests.
