End the Suspense Over SAT Scores--for a Price
High school students can end the nerve-racking wait for SAT scores early, but it will cost them.
Students who used the Internet to register for the college entrance exam received an e-mail two weeks after the test telling them scores were available online for a $13 fee. If the students waited eight more days, they could access their scores for free by mail or computer.
The exam’s New York-based owner, the College Board, said the service is meant to lessen the anxiety for test-takers. For years, students have been able to get early test scores by phone for $13.
Critics say the service makes money off students’ anxieties.
