SUMMARY

The SAT standardized test currently focuses solely on English and elementary math, as SAT Subject Tests were discontinued in recent years. While advanced courses are available to high school students, the lack of subject-specific SAT tests raises questions about university admissions criteria. Additionally, the standardized testing landscape in the U.S. is evolving, with some universities eliminating SAT score requirements altogether, reflecting a growing opposition to standardized testing.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of SAT standardized testing structure
  • Familiarity with U.S. university admissions processes
  • Knowledge of advanced high school coursework
  • Awareness of educational policy trends regarding standardized testing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the history and impact of SAT Subject Tests
  • Explore current university admissions policies regarding standardized testing
  • Investigate the arguments for and against standardized testing in education
  • Examine alternative assessment methods being considered by educational institutions
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for college, educators involved in curriculum development, and policymakers interested in the future of standardized testing in the U.S.

hello :

i saw a sat book few days ago and noticed that it is only english and elementary math , i was surprised do you need to pass only sat to enroll in a university why there is no sat object , for example sat physics , sat math , sat chemistry ,...etc

in order to help student with the sat exam you only need to prepare in this subjects ?

Best Regards

There used to be SAT subject tests a few years ago before they were discontinued. There are a separate set of advanced courses with accompanying tests that most U.S. high school students will have available to them.

EDIT: P.S. The whole standardized testing environment is in flux right now in the U.S. Some universities are dropping requirements for SAT scores. There is a broader movement opposed to standardized tests afoot (wrongheaded in my view).
