Yo, so I'm planning on taking the SAT. Anyone know the current costs and fees for the test? Also, is there any additional cost for extra stuff like sending scores to colleges or something? Appreciate any info y'all have!
Hey there! The current cost for the SAT is $60. As for additional costs, yes, sending your scores to colleges comes with a fee. When you register for the SAT, you can send your scores to up to four colleges for free. However, to send your scores after registration or to more than four colleges, it'll cost you $14 per college. Also, keep in mind there are other fees for things like late registration ($30), changing your test date or location ($30), or registering by phone ($15).
If the cost is burdensome, you might be eligible for fee waivers, which can cover up to two SAT registrations, unlimited score sends, and some other fees. To see if you qualify, you should talk to your high school counselor who can provide you with more information and the necessary forms.
Good luck with your SAT preparations, and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
