§
Students
can take up to three SAT Subject Tests on a single test date. Students cannot take the SAT Subject Tests and the SAT Reasoning
Test during the same test administration.
§
Students
must indicate which Subject Tests they plan to take when they register for a test. However, they can change which tests they
take up to the test date — except for Language Tests with Listening.
§
Students
may only use a calculator on the Subject Tests in Mathematics Level 1 and Mathematics Level 2. Both the Subject Test in Mathematics
Level 1 and the Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2 have some questions that require the use of at least a scientific calculator.
Students can take these tests without using a calculator, but it may put them at a disadvantage

Fees
The registration fee for
the SAT Reasoning Test is $41.50.
The registration fee for
an SAT Subject Test is $18 but, because the fees for SAT Subject Tests differ, an $18 additional fee is added to the total
for all subject tests taken and $19 is added for a Language Test with Listening. These fees cover sending score reports to
up to four colleges and scholarship programs.
Test and registration fees (including late fees and telephone re-registration fees) cannot be refunded, even if you
cancel your test scores or are absent on test day. Additional service fees for additional score reports, the Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) and the Student Answer Service (SAS) are refundable, as long as these services have not yet been fulfilled. The fee for each additional score report is also refundable.
Payment must be made in U.S. dollars.
