Basically the SAT includes a mathematics section and a verbal (reading and grammar/usage/sentence structure) section.

In the website linked above, scroll down to <b>Section Topics</b> and click on "Inside the Test" for further information.

This is determined by each college. I suspect most have not specified any subject tests. But some have "recommended" subject area tests. You <b>need to check your college registration requirements handbook</b>.
For those two areas you listed listed, generally recommended, Math II, physics, chemistry, or biology. For instance, see this on Carnegie Mellon University, a typical first drawer University ; http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/standardized-test-requirements
Note, this is pretty common " <b>Applicants won't be penalized if the cost of taking the SAT Subject Tests causes financial hardship and as a result, prohibits their submission. In such instances, instead of SAT Subject Tests, we'll rely on secondary school record, rigor of coursework, teacher and counselor recommendations, essays and any other information available.</b>

So your HSchool course work can be very important and is an evaluation tool.

Now on the basic SAT, personally, I recommend you also take the written essay option. Colleges are looking for quality students, who have a history of working with others, sound basic academic work, who can communicate, and who have determination to make the world a better place.
