SAT Cost?

Hi everyone, I'm a little bit stressed about the SAT process. Could someone please let me know how much it actually costs to take the SAT and whether there's any financial aid available for low-income students? Thanks in advance!

Hey! No need to stress - I'm here to help. The registration cost for the SAT in the 2023-2024 academic year is $60. There are additional fees for late registration ($30) and changing your test center or test date ($25). Keep in mind that these fees may change slightly year to year, so it's always a good idea to double-check on the College Board website.

Now, about financial aid: low-income students may qualify for an SAT fee waiver that covers the costs associated with taking the SAT, including sending score reports to free selected colleges. To qualify for a fee waiver, you will need to meet specific eligibility criteria such as being enrolled in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL) program or meeting specific income requirements. Reach out to your school counselor to discuss your eligibility and obtain a fee waiver code.

Additionally, with an SAT fee waiver, you can send up to four additional score reports for free (in addition to the four free score sends you get when you register), and you will also receive free access to the College Board's comprehensive online test prep resources. This can help save you some extra cash while prepping for the test.

I hope this information eases your concerns about the SAT costs! Good luck!
