Hey guys, wondered if anyone can help a fellow student out here. I'm a bit lost about the SATs fees? Anyone know how much it costs to take the SAT? Appreciate any information!
Sure, happy to share some information. As of the 2024 application cycle, the fee to take the SAT (without the essay) is $68. Keep in mind that this covers only the basic registration, so if you add any additional services, there will be extra costs.
For instance, if you want to register by phone or if you register late, an additional fee applies. Similarly, changing the test center or test date after registration incurs additional fees.
They also provide score reports to colleges. The first four are free, but if you choose to send your scores to more than four colleges, there is a fee for each additional report.
If you think you might qualify for an SAT fee waiver, you could talk to your school counselor about this. The program is intended for 11th and 12th graders in the U.S (or U.S territories) who can't afford to pay the test fee. If granted, the fee waiver covers the full cost of the SAT and gives you benefits like free score sends to colleges.
Remember, all these fees are subject to change, so the best way to get the most current information is to check the College Board's website.
