No. The SAT Subject Tests (there’s a lot of different ones) are not the same thing as the SAT Reasoning Test (formerly known as the SAT I, often shortened to simply “SAT”). SAT Subject Tests are 1-hour long tests. They’re offered on the same days as the normal SAT. On any given administration date, you can take up to three of them in a row in one sitting, but you can choose to take just one or two of them. They test different foreign languages (French, Latin, Spanish, Chinese, Hebrew, German, etc., some with or without a listening component), sciences (two biology versions, chemistry, physics), histories (U.S., world) English literature, and mathematics (two levels). Yeah, there’s a lot of them to choose from. See www.collegeboard.com for more info.

Check out collegeboard.com It’s a very useful site and well tell you all about both the SAT Reasoning Test [the ‘normal’ SATs] as well as SAT II [Subject Tests].

The SAT Subject Test are merely tests in the format of the SAT that test your knowledge on a particular subject. For example, there are Chemistry, US History and English Literature.

The SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. The SAT is administered by the not-for-profit College Board corporation in the United States, and is developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).

The current SAT Reasoning Test is administered in about 3 hours and 45 minutes and costs $43 ($68 International), excluding late fees. After SAT’s introduction in 1901, its name and scoring has changed several times. In 2005, the test was renamed as “SAT Reasoning Test” with possible scores from 600 to 2400 combining test results from three 800-point sections (math, critical reading, and writing), along with other subsections scored separately.
