SAT DEFINED
The SAT is a globally recognized college admission test that lets you show colleges what you know and how well you can apply that knowledge. It tests your knowledge of reading, writing and math — subjects that are taught every day in high school classrooms. Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year of high school, and almost all colleges and universities use the SAT to make admission decisions.
Taking the SAT is the first step in finding the right college for you — the place where you can further develop your skills and pursue your passions. But SAT scores are just one of many factors that colleges consider when making their admission decisions. High school grades are also very important. In fact, the combination of high school grades and SAT scores is the best predictor of your academic success in college. The SAT Exam lasts for 3 hours and 45 minutes and has 3 Sections: Maths, Reading and Writing. A good SAT score is whatever you need to be competitive in the eyes of your target schools.

SAT II: SUBJECT TEST
SAT II: Subject Test is the name for 20 multiple-choice standardized tests given on individual subjects, usually taken to improve a student's credentials for admission to colleges in the United States. Students typically choose which tests to take depending upon college entrance requirements for the schools to which they are planning to apply. Until 1994, the SAT Subject Tests were known as Achievement Tests, and until January 2005, they were known as SAT IIs; they are still commonly known by these names. Every test is now a one-hour timed test. Historically, the exception to the one-hour time was the writing test, which was divided into a 20-minute Essay question and a 40-minute Multiple-Choice section; it was discontinued after January 2005.
SAT Subject Tests are given on the same day as the SAT (except March). A student may take up to three SAT Subject Tests on any given date but you cannot take the SAT Subject Tests and the SAT on the same test date. Most SAT subject tests are offered on the same day as the regular SAT [except March]. The language tests with listening are generally available only once a year, in November. Calculators may be used only on the Mathematics Level 1 and Level 2 Subject Tests. A calendar of test dates and registration deadlines can be found on The College Board’s official website www.collegeboard.com
