The SAT® Subject Tests (Scholastic Aptitude Test II) are completely different from the SAT® reasoning test. Strong SAT® Subject scores strengthen your application and complement the SAT® reasoning score. It shows colleges and universities that you excel in certain subjects. SAT® subject test is a one-hour timed test focused on a specific subject. There are 20 SAT® Subject Tests in five general subject areas: English, History, Languages, Mathematics and Science.  The test is administered six times a year in India and may be attempted more than once. Language Tests with listening are offered once a year, in November only. Different schools have different SAT® score requirements. Your scores better your chances of getting admission into a particular U.S. university. Registration for the SAT® requires a valid passport and can be done on www.collegeboard.org.

Mathematics Level 2:

Mathematics Level 2 is a test measured on a scale of 200 – 800. It is 60 minutes long with 50 multiple-choice questions. The questions test a student's ability and skills on topics like number and operations, algebra and functions, geometry and measurement, three-dimensional problems, trigonometry, data analysis, etc just like Mathematics Level 1 test. However, if you have studied trigonometry or precalculus or both in the recent past and are more comfortable using a scientific or graphical calculator, it is advised you take Mathematics Level 2 test. It is also important to consider what your college and course demands.
