SAT I: Reasoning. The SAT I is a three-hour test that measures a student�s ability rather than knowledge. It is split into sections that cover verbal and mathematical reasoning skills. Most of the questions are multiple-choice.

SAT II: Subject Tests. The SAT II subject tests measure knowledge in specific subjects within five general categories: English, mathematics, history, science, and languages. The specific subjects range from English literature to biology to Modern Hebrew. SAT II subject tests are primarily multiple-choice, and each lasts one hour.
