The SAT Subject Test in World History is the name of a one-hour multiple choice test given on World History by the College Board. A student chooses to take it depending on the college entrance requirements. Until 1994, the SAT Subject Tests were known as Achievement Tests; and from 1995 until January 2005, they were known as SAT IIs. The SAT World History is not taken frequently. Only around 11,000 students take this test, compared to the over-110,000 students who take the United States History Subject Test.〔http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SubjTestPercentileRanks.pdf〕 Also, unlike the other Subject Tests that are administered monthly, this test is only administered twice a year; once in December, and once in June. This puts pressure on the applicant, because if the student does poorly, it is difficult to retake it.〔http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/prof/counselors/tests/sat/2007-08-sat-subject-tests-preparation-booklet.pdf〕 == Format == This test has exactly 95 questions that are to be answered in one hour. Students will receive one point for a correct answer, will receive zero points for a blank answer, and will lose 1/4 of a point for a wrong answer. There are no sections in this test, and so students will answer 95 multiple choice questions without section breaks or rest periods. Chronology of the Test Geography of the Test The types of questions they have include specific recall of facts, events, or historical knowledge. Cause and effect questions will be on the test as well.
