Fees include the test fee and an administration fee to cover the time and efforts of test coordinators, assistants, and proctors. &nbsp;All fees are nonrefundable, but we will do all we can to help with any special circumstances that may arise. This is a digital test. &nbsp;It is advised that you bring your own laptop, but we will have computers available onsite for those who do not have devices to bring. Please note that we are unable to test students needing special accommodations this year due to College Board deadlines for accommodation requests.
