The '''SAT Subject tests''' (formerly the SAT II: Subject Tests and commonly referred to as the SAT II. Prior to 1994, they were known as the Achievement Tests.) are one-hour multiple-choice tests given in individual subjects. The exception is the Writing test, which is divided into a 20-minute essay question and a 40-minute multiple choice section.
 
The 22 Subject Tests are: Writing, Literature, U.S. History, World History, Math Level I, Math Level II, Biology E/M (Ecological or Molecular), Chemistry, Physics, French Reading, French Reading with Listening, German Reading, German Reading with Listening, Spanish Reading, Spanish Reading with Listening, Modern Hebrew Reading, Italian Reading, Latin Reading with Listening, Japanese Reading with Listening, Korean Reading with Listening, Chinese Reading with Listening, and the English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT).
 
Each individual test is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, except for the ELPT, which is scored on a scale of 100 to 999. The ELPT ceased to be offered after [[January]] [[2005]]. Colleges often require the Writing test, a math test, and a test of the student's choice. Engineering schools typically require a science test and prefer Math Level II. The SAT Writing Test also ceased to be offered after [[January]] [[2005]] due to its incorporation into the New SAT Reasoning Test.
