Neither is correct. You never end a sentence with a preposition (on). It should read,

"On which chapters is the test?"
You would not say "are the test" because it is only one test.

Awkward, I know. But grammatically correct. Is that really an SAT question above? If so, I am shocked.

Sunshadow is right, but to make it a sentence that's well written or at least not awkward, it really ought to read, "Which chapters does the test cover?"

To answer a question like that, first arrange it normally, S then V, like 'the test is on which chapters?'

^Obviously that is awkward, but when you rearrange, you keep the S/V the same, so you know you want 'is'. A choice may be what sunshadow said. And always watch out for prepositions at the end.

^ this may take more time that you would like to spend on a problem, but the problem you stated would probably a harder than average question.
