I would spend 100$ on SAT II & ACT. I am applying to 12 schools, i would get 4 free reports so i will have to send reports to 8 schools.</p>
<p>Now 8<em>9.5(SAT II) + 8</em>7.5(ACT)=136$</p>
<p>It's even more than what i payed to give the tests.
It may be small sum for you but not for me.

<p>You have to choose your battles. I agree with DianeR as there are expenses associated with applying to college. No school will accept scores unless they are official scores coming from the College board or the ACT. </p>
<p>This being said the ball is in your court if you cannot affordthe expenses associated with applying to 12 schools (sending score reports, application fees, payign for copies of the CSS profile to get Financial aid, etc) now is the time where you must go through your list and ultimately you reduce the number of schools you are applying to. Because the ACT and the College board allow to to send your scores to 4 schools for free at the time you take the test, they do not provide fee waivers for sending scores to additional schools.</p>
