Fee waivers cover more than just the testing fees. When you register for the SAT® or SAT Subject Tests™, the fee waiver will cover:
2 free SATs, with or without the essay
6 free SAT Subject Tests
2 free Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) or Student Answer Service (SAS) reports
Unlimited score reports to send to colleges
Waived application fees at participating colleges
Free CSS Profile applications to apply for financial aid from participating schools
Fee reductions for score verification reports
No non-U.S. regional fees for free tests (if you're a U.S. student testing abroad)
No late registration fees for free tests (if you're in the U.S. or U.S. territories)
You can take your free SATs in grades 11–12.
You can take Subject Tests in grades 9–12. You can take your free Subject Tests during 2 registrations, where you can schedule up to 3 tests each time.
Depending on when you take the SAT, your free QAS or SAS reports will include your test's questions and answers, or just your answers. These reports aren't available for Subject Tests. Learn more about QAS and SAS.
Even if you have a fee waiver, it doesn't cover some of the costs for changing your registration. For example, if you want to change your test center, or the date you’re taking the SAT, you’ll have to pay for that. You also have to pay for rush scores, or to receive your scores by phone.
