Can anyone provide a rundown of how much the SAT costs in total, including any additional fees? Also, are there any parts of the registration process that are easy to miss or that I should double-check before finalizing?
Happy to help with your SAT registration query! The basic fee for the SAT for the 2022-2023 academic year was $55. If you're considering the SAT with Essay, which is not required by many colleges now, it's an additional cost. There might also be additional fees for late registration, changing your test center or test date, or ordering score reports beyond your four free ones. Fees are detailed on the College Board website, so make sure to check the most current costs.
When registering, ensure your photo meets the requirements; it's a common hiccup! Also, double-check your high school code and the test location you've chosen to avoid any test-day confusion. If cost is a concern, you might be eligible for a fee waiver, so check with your school counselor to see if you qualify. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or need assistance with the process!
