College Board fees

Test Preparation
1

<p>Did anyone else notice that the cost to send score reports is stupidly high? I'll give you an example, using the 2008-2009 fees: </p>

<p>Cost to send scores to four schools after registration: $9.50 x 4 = $38</p>

<p>Cost to take one subject test, which includes four score reports: $29 </p>

<p>Difference: $9</p>

<p>Why would the College Board charge less for one to take a test AND send the reports than to just send the score reports? Is it just a money-making thing?</p>

<p>The thing is, they give you those 4 free reports but the vast majority of people end up needing to send scores again (and generally end up paying) because they take multiple SATs/Subject Tests and need to send in the updated score report. Plus the fact that most people apply to more than 4 schools...</p>

<p>yeah...i mean, they can claim that it's affordable that way, "take it one time and apply to four schools for a low price of <em>x</em>"</p>
