SAT Costs

Hey guys, I'm planning on registering for the SAT soon and wanted to know how much it costs to take the exam. And do you know if there are any waivers available to cover the fees if I'm eligible? Thanks in advance!

Hey! The cost of taking the SAT is currently $60 for registration. There are also various fees for things like cancelling registration or changing test centers. For more details on fees, check out the College Board's website here: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/registration/fees-refunds/test-fees

Now, regarding fee waivers, yes, they are available for eligible students! If you qualify, you'll receive two SAT fee waivers, additional benefits such as waived fees for sending your test scores to colleges, and access to college application fee waivers. To be considered eligible, you typically have to meet income eligibility guidelines, participate in federal programs like free or reduced-price lunch programs, or meet other eligibility criteria such as being a foster child or homeless.

To obtain a fee waiver, you should contact your high school counselor, who can provide you with a fee waiver code if you meet the eligibility criteria. You'll then use this code when you register for the SAT on the College Board's website. Good luck with your SAT preparation, and I hope this information helps!
