​SAT Subject Tests​

GENERAL INFORMATION 

• SAT Subject Tests are content-based tests that allow you to showcase achievement in specific subject areas where you excel. 

• After submission of SAT Subject Tests scores to the university, students must contact the Testing Center at test.ctr@shsu.edu in order for credit to be applied. Only the SAT Subject exams listed below will be accepted for credit at SHSU. 

• Letter grades A and B take precedence over credit-by-exam. 

• Credit-by-Exam will automatically replace letter grades D and F. If a letter grade of C is listed on the transcript for a course in which credit-by-exam is also applicable, the C will take precedence over the credit-by-exam. Students will have the option to request credit (via credit-by-exam) in lieu of letter grade C. The student will have to initiate the change and work with the respective department and Admissions to finalize the change. 

• Although credit-by-exam replaces letter grades C, D, and F, it does not remove the letter grade from the transcript. 

• Specific course prefixes, numbers, and credit hours will be awarded for acceptable scores but no grades will be awarded.
