Fees

The total cost for a student to participate in NUMATS is paid during registration and covers two fees: the test fee and the NUMATS fee. The test fee payment is sent by NUMATS to the appropriate testing agency. The NUMATS fee covers registration processing and the follow-up materials that help you interpret your child’s test scores.
