How to Prep for SAT Subject Tests

SAT subject tests drill students in one academic area such as math, chemistry or English. Many students bypass the subject tests after taking the general SAT, but most colleges require one or two subject test scores. Students can prepare for the subject tests through multiple resources. Also, taking a test in one specific study area is considered easier than the general SAT because students can focus all their attention on just one subject.
