Who comes up with questions on the SAT or Subject Tests?
High school teachers and college professors, along with educational assessment experts, develop the questions on the SAT and Subject Tests. The committee members also set the test specifications and the types of questions that are asked, including topics and areas that should be covered. High school and college faculty and administrators review the test questions and make recommendations for improving them. Test questions are then tried out with high school students (pretested) before they show up on an actual SAT or Subject Test.
Test Development Committees comprised of educators and subject-matter experts determine the test specifications and the types of questions that are asked, including topics and areas that should be covered. Internal test developers write the questions, which are then submitted to another test committee, made up of high school and college faculty and administrators, which reviews the test questions and makes recommendations for improving them, if needed. Some test questions are also submitted by high school and college teachers from around the country.
