I don't think they still charged us....or if we had to pay at all....because I was like one of those cool little nerd kids that get the 'oppurtunity' to take it in the 7th grade....soooo I don't know.....I'd be mad if we had to pay $45 dollars....I could buy a set of fire poi for that much...>.>

Ok, my info is probably seriously outdated (I took the SAT in 1970!), but then the SAT was not required because you were in highschool. It was given in highschool because the majority of universities required it for admissions. Only a few state colleges accepted just the ACT. Back then the ACT had become almost the same thing as a PSAT, which was rare.

And yes, they charged us to take the SAT.

Then it was a two part test, with an optional 3rd part. I took all three because I was worried about the math section dragging dwon my overall score. It worked - let's just say my language optional sections were high enough to make the mediocre (at best) score on the math section irrelevant.

But after admission to your freshman year of college, those SAT scores were never looked at again.

That's easy for you to say. Here in NY, your scores determine what college you get into. Sadly.
