Information about the SAT exam?

I'm a bit confused........

Help me please......

I'm planning to get into NUS for engineering...

I spoke to my national exam conductors about this. They told me that it was 2 exams to be done.

SAt 1 - English & math

SAT 2- Subjects

I'm a bit confused if  the SAT subjects (SAT-2) also have Critical reading & Writing as well.

I want to do Physics as 1 of my SAT subjects.

Can I please know how many mcqs are found for that subject.

I've done Pure Math, Appilied Math, Physics and Chemistry for my Advanced Level.

I'm confused on what to do out of Mathematics level1, level2, Physics and Chemistry.Since I can only do 3 subjects.

Which 3 subjects are more easy and would be a good combination for a scholarship at NUS?

Which combination will be easy to score marks on.

 

PLEASE HELP ME. I'M A BIT IN A HURRY SO PLEASE HELP ME.

    The SAT-2 does not have tests specifically titled Critical Reading or Critical Writing; however, if you chose Literature as one of your SAT-2 tests, it would test your critical reading skills quite heavily. It is always a good idea to choose SAT-2 tests geared toward your anticipated college major, so taking the Physics test is a wise idea if you are planning to major in Engineering. On the Physics test, the exact number of Math content questions (MCQs) is not divulged, but you can expect a great deal of Physics questions which will require the application of knowledge acquired in your Algebra and Trigonometry courses, with particular focus on using a graphing calculator. While no one can predict which test will be easier for you, it is always easiest to take a test in a subject that you just finished, as opposed to one you had two years ago. Another factor you should consider is that some colleges require specific subject tests and a specific number of SAT-2 tests. Check with an admissions counselor at the college you plan to attend to learn about their specific requirements. It may also be helpful to research the college website for relevant information. If you have a choice, Math and Physics will help you more than Chemistry if you plan to major in Engineering or if you are applying for a scholarship at an Engineering school.
