No, subject tests are no longer functional hence, there are no subject-related tests on SAT anymore. But yes, there are subject specific sections like English and Mathematics which are tested on the SAT exam. The SAT exam pattern doesn't directly have Science subject topics, but its tested in the reading and writing section of the SAT.

Tufts University provides test options for standardized testing including SAT, and ACT. If students want to submit their SAT or ACT scores, the university will review their application in a nuanced and contextual way. If they choose not to submit, the university holistic committee will review it without considering those scores. The Committee gives precedence to academic and extracurricular accomplishments while selecting students rather than standardized testing.

Understanding when to use a calculator is crucial not just for the SAT but also for success in higher education and professional settings. The ability to evaluate the necessity of tool use enables you to work more efficiently and improve your overall problem-solving skills. This is a skill that extends beyond the test and is essential in everyday academic work and various career fields.

Yes, while calculators are allowed, there will be questions where it may be more efficient not to use one. For instance, simple arithmetic operations or problems that can be solved quickly through mental math or reasoning may take longer if you rely on a calculator. Students who capitalize on their problem-solving skills in these situations may find that they have greater control over their time management during the test.

There are no specific eligibility criteria set by the College Board, the body that conducts and manages the SAT exam. However, it can be taken by students who are in high school. Students who want to apply for undergraduate studies abroad are required to have completed their high school education to move to the next level of their learning and have to in some cases submit SAT exam scores if the university requires them.

As in the case of the SAT, there are no restrictions set by the College Board, students can take the SAT exam as many times as they want. SAT is administered seven times a year in India. The test is usually conducted in March, May, June, August, October, November and December.However, it is recommended that applicants appear for SAT twice - in Spring and one before Fall. This is because the highest SAT scores among the two will be considered by universities for admission. Since in a lot of cases, SAT scores improve in the second time, it is recommended to take the SAT exam twice.
