English Subject Tests
Literature: The Literature test is designed to assess how well you read literature. The test requires a high level of verbal ability, the ability to read poetry and prose from different periods, and a working knowledge of basic literary terminology. There are six to eight sets of questions on the test, each based on a different literary text. The test usually contains about 60 multiple-choice questions, and is an hour long.

Standard written English follows rules of grammar and structure according to English grammar handbooks. The Writing test is an hour long, and includes a 20-minute essay on an assigned topic that does not require specialized knowledge in any particular academic discipline, and 60 multiple-choice questions.
Mathematics Subject Tests
Mathematics Level IC: The Mathematics Level IC test is designed to assess your understanding of the mathematics commonly taught in American high schools in three years of college preparatory mathematics (two years of algebra and one year of geometry). The test requires knowledge of algebra, geometry (plane Euclidean, coordinate, three-dimensional), basic trigonometry, algebraic functions, elementary statistics, and some miscellaneous topics. The test is developed with the expectation that most students are using graphing calculators so a scientific or graphing calculator is required. The Math Level IC test is an hour long and has 50 multiple-choice questions. A calculator is required for the Math Level IC test.
Mathematics Level IIC: The Mathematics Level IIC test is designed to assess your understanding of the mathematics commonly taught in American schools in more than three years of college preparatory mathematics (two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and precalculus and/or trigonometry). The test requires knowledge of algebra, geometry (coordinate, three-dimensional), trigonometry, functions, statistics, and some miscellaneous topics. The test is developed with the expectation that most students are using graphing calculators so a scientific or graphing calculator is required. The Math Level IIC test is an hour long and has 50 multiple-choice questions. A calculator is required for the Math Level IIC test.
History Subject Tests
United States History (Formerly Known as American History): The US History test is designed to assess your knowledge of and ability to use material commonly taught in U.S. history and social studies courses in high school. The test requires knowledge of U.S. history from pre-Columbian times to the present, and the ability to recall basic information in an analytical and interpretive manner. The test is an hour long and contains 90 to 95 multiple-choice questions covering political, economic, social, intellectual, and cultural history, and foreign policy.
World History: The World History test measures your understanding of key developments in global history and your use of basic historical techniques. Basic techniques include the application and weighing of evidence and the ability to interpret and generalize.

It also covers all historical fields: political and diplomatic, intellectual and cultural, and social and economic.
Science Subject Tests
Biology E/M: The Biology E/M test assesses your understanding of general biology at the college preparatory level. The test is an hour long and consists of 80 multiple-choice questions -- a common core of 60 questions, plus 20 ecological or molecular questions. Special emphasis is placed on either ecology (Biology-E) or molecular biology (Biology-M), with recognition that evolution is inherent in both. You choose the area in biology for which you feel you're best prepared. On test day you'll indicate if you're taking Biology-E or Biology-M by gridding the code for the chosen test on your answer sheet. Only questions pertaining to the test code that is gridded on the answer sheet will be scored. You may not take both Biology-E and Biology-M on the same test day.
Chemistry: The Chemistry test assesses your understanding of general chemistry at the college preparatory level. The test is an hour long and consists of 85 questions. The use of a calculator is not permitted. Numerical calculations are limited to simple arithmetic. A periodic table indicating the atomic numbers and masses of elements is provided for all test administrations.
Physics: The Physics test assesses your understanding of physics at the college preparatory level. The test is an hour long and consists of 75 multiple-choice questions.
