The College Board has announced it will no longer be providing SAT II subject tests.
No more SAT II subject tests! This is great news for students!
Why?
Because in the past, many 12th graders found themselves lamenting, “What in the world? Some colleges I’m applying to want me to take an hour-long subject test in U.S. History, Chemistry, Physics, Spanish, or Literature? It’s been years since I had those classes! I’ve forgotten most of that stuff! Why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner?”
This caused stress and consternation for students all over the country—but not anymore.
