Why Are Subject Tests So Unpopular?

My guidance counselor mentioned to me that my girlfriend and I have been the only students to ever take any SAT Subject Test since she’s been working at our school. I couldn’t believe it because there are schools that actually require them. I told my other friend, and she was just like, “Those tests aren’t really advertised. People don’t know to take them.” I just wish more people at my school knew about them. It’s an easy way to show off specific areas you excel in.

So I just wanted to get you guys’ opinions. Do you think the SAT subject tests are not advertised enough? Or is it just an “underachieving” mindset at my school? How about kids at your school?
