The SAT Reasoning Test is a three-hour, 45-minute test that measures critical Reading, Math and Writing Skills. It is designed to show your potential in college. This test is accepted by most of the colleges and universities in the country. You should take this test for the first time in May or June of your junior year and October or November of your senior year to improve your score.

Formerly known as the SAT II, the SAT Subject Tests are given in a variety of subject areas. SAT Subject Test may not be taken on the same day as the SAT Reasoning Test. The more selective/highly competitive colleges require the SAT Subject Test. In order to place yourself in this category, it is highly recommended that you take the subject area tests. You may take up to three subject area tests at one time. When choosing which subject area tests to take, choose the subject areas most in line with your preferred majors.
