I'm planning on taking the SAT soon, but I'm not sure about the total cost involved. Can someone tell me how much it actually costs to take the SAT, and if there are any additional fees I should be aware of?
For the digital SAT, the registration fee is $68. There are additional fees you should be aware of in certain situations:
1. Late registration: if you miss the regular registration deadline, there's a late fee of $34.
2. Change fee: if you need to change your test center, test date, or test type, there's a fee of $29.
3. Score reporting: you're allowed to send four free score reports to different colleges within nine days after the test date. After that, each additional score report will cost $12 per recipient.
Keep in mind that fee waivers are available for eligible students, which can cover the SAT registration fee and additional services. Students must meet specific income eligibility requirements and should talk to their high school counselor for more information about the fee waiver process.
