shanvan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is there a way to search online to find out which schools closest to our location are test centers for the subject tests and which tests they are giving? Or, do I have to call schools to find out. I've searched all over and can't find an answer. The College Board site seems to search for an SAT testing center and doesn't have a place to search for specific Subject tests. I found dates, but no locations.

8filltheheart Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think the testing centers for the regular SAT offer the subject tests simultaneously. There are certain subject tests that are only offered a couple of times per yr, but that is CB's scheduling, not location. We never had to look for a different location. I might be wrong, but that is our experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttichen Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Any test center will give all of the subject tests offered that day along with the regular SAT. You can check the CB site for when the various subject tests are offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 SAT Subject Test Dates The 8 most common tests are given during each SAT date. The language tests are available less often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Okay, then, if I found the date, that means I should be able to arrange for Ds to take the test at any SAT location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Okay, then, if I found the date, that means I should be able to arrange for Ds to take the test at any SAT location? Yes. When you register, you will choose which subject test(s) he will take at the location of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Has anyone ever had a school tell them they won't be offering a specific subject test b/c of lack of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Has anyone ever had a school tell them they won't be offering a specific subject test b/c of lack of interest? All of the subject tests I believe are in a single book. Any combination of tests can be taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 All of the subject tests I believe are in a single book. Any combination of tests can be taken. This. Unless it's changed in the past few years, each student taking any subject tests will receive a book with all the tests in it. The day of the test, the student can change his/her mind on the actual tests to be taken, the order to be taken, and the number to be taken - if the change results in more tests than the student originally registered, the CB will bill you for the difference. I believe if the number decreases, CB won't refund the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thank you. I think I understand now. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in CA Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yes, the tests are all in one booklet, and there is just one answer sheet for up to 3 different subject tests, so everyone in the room could be taking different tests. Or there could be one kid taking, say, Hebrew and 20 kids taking Math. The only time the students are split up by test is, I believe, the language-with-listening tests, which are given only in November. All kids taking *any* of the language-with-listening tests are put in a separate room, presumably so they don't disturb other test-takers. As noted above, you can change your mind -- up to the last minute -- about which test(s) to take (assuming it's offered that day), except (I think) the language-with-listening tests (because you need to being your own CD player). And of course you can't switch to the regular SAT that morning, just other subject tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yes, and if you sign up for 3 but only take 2, that's fine but no refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
