Hey everyone! I'm a little stressed about the whole college process, and I'll be registering for the SAT soon. What's the typical SAT registration fee I should expect?
Hi there! Registering for the SAT can indeed be a bit overwhelming, but knowing the fees in advance can help you plan accordingly. As of August 2024, the base registration fee for the digital SAT (without the essay, since it has been discontinued) is $68 in the United States. This cost covers the main SAT itself and sending scores to up to four colleges. However, depending on your situation, there may be additional fees to consider.
If you require a late registration, there will be extra fees involved. The late registration fee is $34. Additionally, if you need to change your test center after registering, there's a $29 fee. Lastly, sending your scores to more than four colleges has a cost of $14 per college.
Keep in mind that fee waivers are available for eligible students. If you qualify, you can have the registration fee waived, including sending scores to an unlimited number of colleges. High school counselors typically have the fee waiver forms, so reach out to yours if you think you might be eligible.
Good luck with your registration and test preparations!
