However, Earning a good score can help students get into the university of their choice and receive bigger scholarships. hi Bastrop Independent School District | Date of Presentation
How much does it cost? SAT and ACT fee waivers are available from Mrs. Jimenez. Fee waivers allow you to take the test for free two times your Junior year and two times your Senior year. Fee waivers can also be used to pay for college applications saving you hundreds of dollars. You must be eligible for free or reduced lunch to receive a fee waiver. Otherwise, the SAT test is $55.
