Hi there! I'm thinking about retaking the SAT to improve my score, but I'm wondering how much it'll cost me to do so. Can anyone provide the fee information for retaking the SAT? Thanks!
Hi! Retaking the SAT does come with a cost. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the registration fee for the digital SAT is currently $60, but will go up to $68 as of August 24, 2024. Keep in mind that additional fees may apply if you decide to register late or make changes to your existing registration, such as changing the test date or test center.
Keep in mind that studying and preparing for the SAT can help improve your score, so it's a good idea to utilize test prep resources before retaking the test. The College Board's Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy is a free resource that provides personalized practice and full-length practice tests to help you maximize your potential.
CollegeVine's blog also contains a series of free posts focused on SAT prep, which you can access here: https://blog.collegevine.com/category/standardized-tests/sat/. CollegeVine also has a marketplace of expert college admissions advisors, some of whom focus on standardized tests in particular, if you want more personalized guidance (although you will likely need to pay for their services).
Good luck studying, and I hope you achieve the score you're aiming for!
