SAT Exam Costs

Hello everyone! I was just curious, how much does it cost to take the SAT exam? And are there any additional fees I should know about?

Hello! The cost of taking the SAT exam depends on a few factors. For the 2024-2025 test cycle, the basic registration fee for the digital SAT is $68 for U.S. test-takers. This fee includes sending your scores to up to four colleges. Keep in mind that these costs are subject to change each year.

There are additional fees for certain services or situations, such as:

1. Late registration: If you miss the regular registration deadline and have to register during the late-registration period, you'll be charged an extra fee of $29.

2. Changing your test date or center: If you want to change your test date or testing center after registering, you'll be charged a $29 change fee.

4. Sending scores to more than four colleges: If you're sending your scores to more than four colleges, it will cost an extra $12 per additional score report.

However, if you're facing financial constraints, you may be eligible for an SAT fee waiver, which covers the registration cost and additional services like score reports to colleges. To obtain a fee waiver, you'll need to talk to your high school counselor who can provide guidance on how to apply for one.

Good luck with your SAT, and make sure to prepare well ahead of time to maximize your chances of success!
