2012年作为申请美国本科必须要经历的SAT考试依然火爆异常。2012年6月美国SAT考试提高了自己的报名费用和其他相关的服务费用。如果大家想要报名2012年的美国SAT考试，就需要对这些费用问题进行详细的了解了。

　　2012年SAT考试费用：SAT基本费用50美元，国际考生Additional Fee 31美元，共计81美元;

　　SAT2基本费用54美元，每科加12美元，带听力的语言科目每科加23美元，所以不考听力，两科78美元，三科90美元。

　　SAT考试费用的缴纳方式如下：

　　Acceptable Forms of Payment

　　Credit cardAmerican Express, Discover, Visa or MasterCard accepted. (Credit cards are not accepted in Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, or Togo.)

　　Check or money order Make checks payable to The College Board. Orders received with checks drawn on non-U.S. banks will be returned.

　　Other Bank drafts, international money orders, UNESCO coupons (for international registration only).

　　DO NOT SEND CASH.

　　We reserve the right to collect payments electronically by check. Checks returned to the College Board for insufficient funds will be represented electronically, and your account will be debited for the amount of the check, plus the state-allowed penalty fee.

　　Refunds

　　Test and registration fees (including late fees and telephone re-registration fees) cannot be refunded, even if you cancel your test scores or are absent on test day.

　　The following fees are refundable only under specific circumstances:

　　The Question-and-Answer Service or Student Answer Service are refundable only if your order has not yet been fulfilled or if you missed your test date (for example, you were absent or you had to take a makeup test).

　　Additional score reports that you ordered at the time of registration are refundable only if you are absent.

　　If you ordered QAS and your order was not fulfilled (for example, because you had to take a makeup test), contact us to find out if you are entitled to a refund. Refunds are processed beginning six weeks after the test date.

　　另外一项在2012年首先开始的考试政策就是，大家在报名的时候需要同时提交一张清晰的脸部照片。考生注册时提交的照片，作为入场凭证，上传您的电子照片，并且照片与考试当天差别不大，否则您将被拒绝考试。新政策显然对确保考生身份的真实性更加严格。所有考生递交的照片和填写的注册申请表，将存放在数据库里，提供给考场管理人员，以确认考试者身份。
