    United States and U.S. territories, and six times a year internationally.

    SAT Subject TestsThe SAT Subject Tests are one-hour tests in English, history,

    mathematics, sciences and languages. These tests give you

    an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and showcase

    achievement in specic subject areas. By including these tests in

    your application portolio, you can help to dierentiate yoursel

    and provide a more complete picture about your interests. Some

    schools require or recommend SAT Subject Tests as part o the

    admission process to assess a students academic preparation

    or college. Some schools use them or placement or to advise a

    student in picking course subjects and levels. Depending on your

    score and your chosen colleges policies, you may be able to place

    out o a beginner class or satisy a basic requirement in certain

    subjects.

    3. Completing the SATQuestionnaire

    Connect to Colleges with Student Search Service

    Providing your inormation on the SAT Questionnaire and saying"Yes" to Student Search Service helps you connect with colleges

    and universities that are looking or students just like you. I you

    take the PSAT/NMSQT, the SAT, SAT Subject Tests or any AP

    Exam, you can be included in this ree service.

    Heres how it works: During SAT or SAT Subject Test registration,

    i you are not already signed up or the service, indicate that you

    want to be a part o Student Search Service. Your name and otherinormation, including your address, high school grade point

    average, date o birth, grade level, high school, email address,

    intended college major and extracurricular activities can then be

    made available to participating colleges and scholarship services.

    Colleges and scholarship programs then use Student Search

    Service to help them locate and recruit students withcharacteristics that they nd to be a good match with their

    programs. This is a great way or you to get inormation about

    colleges with which you may not be amiliar.

    Important Notes About Student Search Service:

    Being part o Student Search Service is voluntary. While most

    students who take the PSAT, AP exams, SAT or SAT Subject

    Colleges participating in Student Search Service neverreceive student scores or phone numbers. Colleges can ask

    or names o students within certain score ranges, but your

    exact score is not reported.

    Being contacted by a college doesnt mean you have beenadmitted. The colleges and organizations that participatewant to fnd students who ft in with their environment,

    classes, programs, scholarships and special activities.

    However, you can be considered or admission only ater you

    apply. Student Search Service is simply a way or colleges to

    reach prospective students like you and inorm them o their

    opportunities.

    Student Search Service will share your contact inormationonly with accredited colleges and approved educational or

    scholarship programs that are recruiting students like you.

    How Answering the Questionnaire Helps Your College

    Search

    Item 21 on Side 2 o the paper Registration Form consists o

    42 questions about you, your high school experiences and

    your thoughts about college. While you do not have to respond

    to the questions, we strongly recommend that you do. Your

    responses give your counselors and college admission ofcers

    inormation to use in assisting you with making uture plans.The more inormation you provide, the more they can assist

    you. (See below.)

    Your responses provide inormation to the College Board thathelps us ensure that the SAT is a air and accurate test or all

    students. Your answers to some questions (the questionnaire

    identies which ones) will not appear on your score report butwill be used by the College Board or research and planning.

    Your responses, when combined with those o all other studentstaking the SAT, contribute to an understanding o the academic

    preparation, extra- and co-curricular involvement, and post-

    high school plans o your graduating class, which can assist

    colleges and universities to deliver programs and opportunities

    to serve you and your classmates.

    Condentiality

    Institutions that receive your SAT scores and related data are

    required to maintain condentiality o data and to adhere to

    College Board guidelines or using inormation. Your answers

    to Items 39 through 42 are not included on score reports to

    institutions.

    Updating Your Data

    I you register or the SAT again, you do not need to re-enter all the

    questionnaire inormation. Be sure to update any responses that

    may have changed. When updating, answer the entire question

    your new answer will replace the old one. For example, i you

    have taken calculus since the last time you registered or the SAT,you should list all math courses you have completed, including

    calculus.

    Note:You can update your SAT Questionnaire online or by calling

    Customer Service.

    I a Question Doesnt Apply to You

    Most o the questions are addressed to students still insecondary school. I you are no longer in school, answer these

    questions as well as you can or leave them blank.

    Students in school systems outside the United States may nd

    that Items 7, 8, 18 and 42 do not apply to them. Please answer
