These tips for the SAT Subject Tests are considered “tried and true.” Over the years, they have been used by students taking
\nthe SAT Achievement Tests, the SAT 2, the SAT ii, the SAT 2 test, and every other possible name and nickname the various
\ntests have been given. You will be better prepared to earn your best possible score on test day if you become familiar
\nwith the following tips and suggestions.<\/p>\n

Schedule the tests in a logical order<\/strong>
\nTake the tests for subjects like sciences and history right
\nafter the end of the course, when the material is fresh in your mind. For language tests, you might want to wait until
\nyou have studied the subject for several years.<\/p>\n

Register early, then confirm the official SAT Subject Test “admission ticket” you receive<\/strong>
\nWhether you register by mail or do it online, register early for the tests you need. If you can register online, the process
\nwill probably be smoother and less stressful. By registering online, you will see “real time” information about test
\navailability, dates, and locations, and you will receive immediate confirmation of your registration. No matter how you
\nregister, take time to examine your Admission Ticket when it arrives. Make sure it confirms everything you were thinking
\nabout the date, place, and time. If there is a problem, make a phone call. Do not figure you can make changes at the
\ntest center on the day of the test.<\/p>\n

Get to know the SAT Subject Tests you have chosen to take<\/strong>
\nYou won’t get any extra time to read the directions during the exam, so make sure you’re familiar with your test before you take it. At the least, go to the College
\nBoard Web site and read what it has to say about your upcoming Subject Tests. Not only will you see that each test is
\nmade up of multiple-choice questions and is 60 minutes long, but you can also find out about the topics you will encounter
\non the test. Invest a little time now so you can be more relaxed when you take the test.<\/p>\n

Find out if there is anything special you need to know about your SAT Subject Test<\/strong>
\nSome little things
\nturn out to be really big things. Are you aware that you need to bring an approved CD player and headphone to the test
\nif you are taking an SAT Subject Test with Listening? And did you know that if you are taking Mathematics Level 1 or
\nMathematics Level 2 test, you are invited\u2014almost expected\u2014to bring a graphing or scientific calculator? The
\nCollege Board Web site will provide the details you need to know about these things, and more.<\/p>\n

Relax the night before the test<\/strong>
\nDon’t cram. Studying at the last minute will only stress you out.
\nGo to a movie or hang out with a friend\u00a0\u2014 anything to get your mind off of the test!<\/p>\n

Come to your SAT Subject Test<\/a> with at least minimal preparation<\/strong>
\nYour “minimal preparation” must include
\ntaking your admission ticket, a photo ID, two No. 2 pencils, and a good eraser with you.<\/p>\n

Recognize that the Subject Tests will challenge you and wear you down a bit<\/strong>
\nYour “minimal preparation”
\nwill get you in for the test, but a little extra preparation will help you do your best. There will be a short break
\nat the end of each testing period. If you have brought along something to drink and snack on, you will probably be better
\nprepared when you sit down for the next test.<\/p>\n

Work through each test in a logical order<\/strong>
\nYou won’t get extra credit for answering a difficult question,
\nso don’t waste your time on something that seems too hard. Skip the hard questions and come back to them once you’ve
\nanswered all of the easier questions.<\/p>\n

It is O.K. to write in the Subject Test books<\/strong>
\nMark the difficult questions you need to come back
\nto so you can find them later. You can use your book for scratch work. Feel free to cross off any answer choices that
\nyou know are wrong.<\/p>\n

The difference between a guess and an educated guess can affect your SAT Subject Test scores<\/strong>
\nIf you
\ncan eliminate at least one of the supplied answer choices, try taking an educated guess at the answer. Because the questions
\nare all multiple-choice, if you can eliminate one or two choices you think are definitely wrong, you will improve your
\nchance of ending up with the correct answer\u2014even if you end up guessing at it.<\/p>\n

You can be ready to face the SAT Subject Tests<\/h2>\n

You have been\u00a0preparing for these tests, maybe for several years. Your earliest preparation may have started back when
\nthe test were more commonly referred to as the SAT 2 or SAT ii. Regardless of their names, each SAT Subject Test can
\nhelp you show what you have learned and what you can do with that knowledge. When you finally get to look at your results
\n\u2014 the official SAT Subject Test Scores \u2014 take a deep breath and remember that you prepared as well as you
\ncould have. If you need more prep for the SAT, be sure to take a look at the\u00a0SAT practice test<\/a> available here at Peterson’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
