Cost for SAT Registration?

How much does it cost to register for the SAT? Also, are there any additional fees I should be aware of?

The base registration cost for the SAT is $55. This price covers the test itself, which includes the Reading, Writing, and Math sections. There may be additional fees you should be aware of, depending on your circumstances. Here are some common added fees:

1. Late registration: If you register for the test after the regular deadline, there's a $30 late fee.

2. Change fee: If you make changes to your test center, you'll need to pay a $50 change fee.

3. Waitlist testing: If you're waitlisted for a test center, there's a $53 fee. This fee is only charged if you are admitted to the test center on test day.

4. Multiple-choice score verification: If you want to have your multiple-choice sections re-scored due to a suspected error, it costs $55.

5. Essay score verification: Similar to the multiple-choice score verification, if you want to have your essay score verified, it will cost an additional $55.

In case you cannot afford the test fees, the College Board offers fee waivers to eligible students. If you qualify for a fee waiver, you'll be able to take the SAT for free and also receive benefits like waived college application fees and free score sends to colleges. To apply for a fee waiver, talk to your school counselor, who can guide you through the eligibility requirements and application process.

Keep in mind that these prices are accurate as of now, but they may change in the future. Always check the College Board website for the most up-to-date information on fees related to the SAT.
