About SAT Chemistry Exam

The Chemistry Subject Test assesses student's understanding of the major concepts of chemistry and their ability to apply these principles to solve specific problems. If you’re interested in studying science or engineering in college, taking the Chemistry Subject Test can help you demonstrate your interests and showcase your strengths in the subject.


SAT Chemistry Grades

The SAT grading system has a raw score and a scaled score. The Raw score is determined as 1 mark per question currectly answered. Penalties in terms of negative marks are added to discourage guessing. The raw score of the exam is then rounded off, and then scaled to a score between 200-800 points, which are used as the final score.

SAT Grades Definition
700-800 Extremely Well Qualified
600-700 Well Qualified
500-600 Qualified
400-500 Possibly Qualified
200-400 No Recommendation

SAT Exam Calculator Policy

Calculators are NOT permitted in SAT Chemistry Exam as the problem solving requires simple numerical calculations

The Exam


The SAT Chemistry exam runs for 60 minutes and has 3 sections. These sections are not time bound. There are a total of 85 Multiple Choice Questions. All questions have a Raw score of 1 for every correct answer and a deduction of -1/4 for every incorrect answer.

Section I - Questions 1-23 are classification questions

Total weightage : 27%

Standard MCQ questions based on concepts and knowledge of chemistry. Will also contain numerical/ calculative questions


Section II Questions 110-115 are Relationship Analysis Questions

Total weightage : 17%

The student will compare two statements to determine the true statement. If bothe statements are true, Then the relation between the two has to be explained.

Section III Questions 24-70 are multiple choice questions

Total weightage : 17%

The student will be tested on the basis of his/her understanding of the major concepts of chemistry and the ability to apply principles to solve specific problems
