I have been teaching high school English for 5 years, with a Bachelors Degree in English and a Masters Degree in English Education. Now I work in easywaypaper.com and helps a student with the homework. In this position, I have helped edit and refine numerous students' essays to achieve the goal of creating the most informative, succinct products of the English language.
The SAT tests your reading, writing, and math skills. It tests your ability to use these basic skills in terms of college success in general subjects. SAT Subject Tests, on the other hand, test your knowledge and skills in particular subjects. In addition to literature and mathematics, you can take SAT Subject Tests in history, science, and foreign languages. These topics allow you to show what you are interested in and how knowledgeable you are about those topics.
Both the SAT and SAT Subject Tests can help colleges to make admissions decisions. Both tests are standardized, which allows colleges to compare students from across the country or across the world. They differ in the fact that the SAT tests your general ability to succeed in college, while SAT Subject Tests help you to show how you excel in certain subjects. The SAT is a longer test, but both tests use the same scoring scale on each section. While not all colleges that require the SAT require SAT Subject Tests, it is definitely worth looking into whether taking an SAT Subject Test or two would be beneficial for you.
