SAT Subject Tests, commonly known as SAT 2’s, are <\/span>multiple-choice<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>standardized tests<\/span><\/a>\u00a0offered by the\u00a0<\/span>College Board<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in individual subjects. These tests are offered in 20 different subjects across 5 disciplines. <\/span>Each test is scored out of 800 points and the duration of each test is 1 hour.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some colleges <\/span>require<\/b> you to take the SAT 2\u2019s while other colleges would prefer that you take them. Benefits of taking the SAT 2\u2019s:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They demonstrate your skill and interest in a particular subject<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. They improve your chances of admissions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. They help in receiving scholarships<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. They help with college coursework<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    SAT Subject Tests are a way for universities to place students from different countries on the same scale. It helps universities to filter out students while making their admission decisions. If you are applying to a selective college, you need to submit scores from at least two SAT Subject Tests. However, UniRely<\/strong><\/a> advises each applicant to take at least 3 SAT Subject Tests as this will put their application on a scale higher than most applicants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    When applicants are selecting the subjects, we recommend that they try and pick subjects from the field that they are applying to college. So if an applicant is applying for Science, then picking Math 2 and two other science courses (such as physics and chemistry) would be the ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you have any questions or want to know how your SAT score impacts your chances of acceptance to your dream universities, please contact the expert counselors at UniRely. They will guide you on how to get an edge over other applicants and which aspects of your profile to improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
