How are invoices calculated?

General Invoicing Details

College Board automatically applies discounts for schools that serve low-income students and those that administer assessments in both fall and spring for the same school year. Learn more about College Board's new discounts, including several pricing scenarios.

If you administered and are responsible for paying for multiple tests, you'll receive a separate invoice for each assessment administered.

For Districts

If you placed a district-level order, then prior to registration, the SAT Suite ordering role user(s) at your district indicated which assessments, grades, and schools that should be paid for by the district. Final invoices are calculated based on the number of tests submitted using Bluebook. Schools may have additional students registered in their SSOR rosters who you won’t be invoiced for if they never began testing. Lastly, if students start testing but don’t submit their test, Bluebook automatically submits their tests three days after the student started testing. If you ordered multiple assessments for your schools, you’ll receive a separate invoice for each assessment administered.

If a district places an order, allocates testing quantities to schools, and schools don’t place separate orders, the district will receive the total invoice. Test quantities must be allocated by the district for districts to cover testing costs. If the district and school place an order for the same assessment and grade, and the school tests more than the district orders, then the school may receive an invoice for all or part of the overage.

For Schools

If your district placed an order for your school for all the assessments, grades, and student volumes you tested, and your school didn't place a separate order, then your district will receive the total invoice.

If your school and district both place orders for the same grade and assessment combination and you test more than what your district allocated to you, your school may receive an invoice for all or part of the overage. You won't be sent an invoice if there is no payment required by your school.
