SAT II - Subject Tests are one-hour, multiple-choice tests. They measure how much students know about a particular academic subject and how well they can apply that knowledge. There are 22 Subject Tests which can be divided into 5 broad categories:

Subject	Category
»  English	»  Writing (with an essay)   »  Literature
»  Mathematics	»  Math Level IC   »  Math Level IIC
»  History	»  U.S. History   »   World History
»  Science	»  Biology E/M   »  Chemistry   »  Physics
»  Languages	»  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   »  English Language Proficiency Test.

These are not mandatory to be taken as certain colleges and universities do not have SAT II as the prerequisite for admission purposes. Used in combination with other background information (your high school record, scores from other tests like the SAT I, teacher recommendations, etc.), they provide a dependable measure of your academic achievement and are a good predictor of future performance.
