SAT subject based Test Pattern:

The SAT Subject Tests are one-hour-long exams that give you the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and showcase achievement in specific subjects. Colleges use SAT Subject Test scores in combination with other factors (high school marks, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, essays, etc.) to make admission decisions.  Many colleges also use Subject Tests for course placement and advising; some schools allow you to opt out of introductory courses by taking certain Subject Tests. You can select the Subject Tests and can take up to three tests in one sitting. Details and practice tests can be found here
