Refunds
Most fees related to the SAT are not refundable. Test and registration fees (including late fees and telephone re-registration fees) cannot be refunded, even if a student cancels his or her test scores or is absent on test day.
The only refundable fees are for:
- Student Answer Services (QAS or SAS) a student ordered on the Registration Form for a test date that he or she later missed
- Additional score reports that a student ordered on the Registration Form for a test date that he or she later missed
If a student ordered the Question-and-Answer Service and the order was not fulfilled (for example, because he or she had to take a makeup test), the student should contact us (this link takes you to the student section of this site) to find out if he or she is entitled to a refund. Refunds are processed beginning six weeks after the test date.
