About the SAT Subject Tests:

All Subject Tests are one-hour, multiple-choice tests. However, some
of these tests have unique formats: 

The Subject Test in Biology E/M contains a common core of 60
general-knowledge multiple-choice questions, followed by 20
multiple-choice questions that emphasize either ecological (Biology E)
or molecular (Biology M) subject matter. After completing the core
questions, test takers choose the section for which they feel most
prepared.
 
The Subject Tests in Mathematics (Level 1 and Level 2) have some
questions that require the use of at least a scientific or graphing
calculator. Mathematics Subject Tests are developed with the
expectation that most students will use a graphing calculator. There
are no plans to discontinue or change the content of the Subject Tests
in Mathematics Level 1 or Mathematics Level 2. 

The Subject Tests in Languages with Listening (Chinese, French,
German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish) consist of a listening section
and a reading section. Students taking these tests are required to
bring an acceptable CD player with earphones to the test center.
