Hi everyone! Just took the SAT and I'm ready to send my scores to colleges. I was wondering if there are any fees associated with sending SAT scores, or if it's included in the test registration fee?
Yes, there are fees associated with sending SAT scores to colleges. When you register for the SAT, you are granted four free score sends if you select the colleges within nine days of taking the test. After this period or for additional colleges beyond the first four, you will need to pay a fee.
The current fee for sending SAT scores to additional colleges is $14 per college. However, fee waivers are available for eligible low-income students, which will allow them to send unlimited score reports to colleges without any charges. You can talk to your school counselor to see if you qualify for a fee waiver.
Keep in mind that some colleges allow you to self-report test scores on your application, which means you won't need to send in official score reports until after you've been admitted and decided to enroll. Be sure to check each college's specific policy on self-reporting to save on sending fees when possible.
