The base registration fee for the SAT is $68 for test dates starting August 24, 2024. International test-takers pay an additional $43 on top of this base fee.

Several additional fees may apply, including a $3 late registration fee, $2 test center change fee, $2 cancellation fee (if canceled by deadline), $3 late cancellation fee (after deadline), $14 per additional score report (first 4 are free if ordered within 9 days), $3 for rush score reports, and $55 for score verification (though a fee waiver is available for verification).

Fee waivers are available to U.S. citizens in 11th or 12th grade who meet at least one of several criteria, including enrollment in the National School Lunch Program, family income meeting USDA guidelines, participation in federal aid programs such as Upward Bound, receiving public assistance, living in federally subsidized housing or foster care, experiencing homelessness, or being a ward of the state or orphan.

Eligible students receive two free SAT registrations, unlimited free score reports, waived application fees at participating colleges, free CSS Profile applications for financial aid at participating institutions, and no late registration or cancellation fees. Fee reductions also apply for score verification reports.

You can obtain a fee waiver through your school counselor by requesting a waiver code, or directly from College Board by completing the Fee Waiver Request Form on the College Board website and providing contact information for an adult who can verify your eligibility.

Yes, homeschooled students can request a fee waiver directly from College Board or work with a local high school counselor by providing proof of their eligibility to receive the waiver.
