Student Loan-Backed Notes

The remarketing agent is remarketing, on behalf of SLM Student Loan Trust 2005-7, the class A-5 notes (the "class A-5 notes"). The class A-5 notes were originally issued by the trust on August 11, 2005. If successfully remarketed on April 25, 2025, the class A-5 notes will have the following terms:

All existing class A-5 noteholders are hereby advised that if you want to retain your class A-5 notes you are required to submit a hold notice prior to 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, on April 22, 2025, to the remarketing agent. Otherwise your notes will be deemed to have been tendered for remarketing.

The class A-5 notes have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of this remarketing or the accuracy or adequacy of this free-writing prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

You should consider carefully the risk factors on page 20 of this free-writing prospectus.

We are not offering the class A-5 notes in any state or other jurisdiction where the offer is prohibited.

This document constitutes a "free-writing prospectus" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The notes are asset-backed securities and are obligations of the issuing entity, which is a trust. They are not obligations of or interests in Navient Corporation, the sponsor, the remarketing agent, the depositor, any seller of loans to the depositor, the administrator, the servicer or any of their respective affiliates.

The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the United States or any governmental agency.

The trust relies on an exclusion or exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 contained in Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the trust. The trust is being structured so as not to constitute a "covered fund" for purposes of the Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act (both as defined in this free-writing prospectus).

INTRODUCTION

The Student Loan-Backed Notes issued by SLM Student Loan Trust 2005-7 consist of the class A-5 notes, as well as the class A-3 notes (referred to as the "other reset rate notes" and together with the class A-5 notes, the "reset rate notes"), the class A-1, class A-2 and class A-4 notes (collectively referred to as the "floating rate class A notes") and the class B notes (which, together with the floating rate class A notes, and the reset rate notes are referred to as the "notes"). As of the date of this free-writing prospectus (referred to as the "free-writing prospectus"), the class A-1, class A-2, class A-3 notes and class A-4 notes have been paid in full and are no longer outstanding. None of the notes other than the class A-5 notes (collectively referred to as the "other notes") are being offered under this free-writing prospectus. Any information contained herein with respect to the other notes is provided only to present a better understanding of the class A-5 notes. The class A-5 notes were originally offered for sale pursuant to the prospectus supplement, dated August 3, 2005, and the related base prospectus, dated August 1, 2005.

BofA Securities, Inc. is serving as the remarketing agent (in such capacity, the "remarketing agent") for the class A-5 notes.

The notes were issued on August 11, 2005 (referred to as the "closing date"), are obligations of an issuing entity known as SLM Student Loan Trust 2005-7 (referred to as the "trust"), and are secured by the assets of the trust, which consist primarily of a pool of consolidation student loans (the "trust student loans").

Principal of and interest on the notes are payable as described herein on the 25th day of each January, April, July and October or, if such day is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day (each, a "distribution date"). The "initial reset date" for the class A-5 notes was July 25, 2013. A failed remarketing was declared with respect to the initial reset date and each subsequent reset date. Pursuant to the terms of these failed remarketings, (i) the holders of the class A-5 notes were required to retain their notes, (ii) the class A-5 notes were reset to bear interest at the failed remarketing rate, which is an annual rate equal to the SOFR Rate plus 0.75%, which rate remained in effect after this failed remarketing, and (iii) a three-month reset period ending on the next distribution date was established. We refer to the April 25, 2025 reset date as the "current reset date" in this free-writing prospectus. If successfully remarketed on the current reset date, interest will accrue on the class A-5 notes at the rate specified in the summary of this free-writing prospectus and will be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed in each accrual period and a 360-day year until their next reset date which will occur on July 25, 2025. Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the class A-5 notes during three-month accrual periods and will be paid on each distribution date. The first distribution date after the current reset date is scheduled to occur on July 25, 2025. Each accrual period will begin on a distribution date and end on the day before the next distribution date.

Investors in the class A-5 notes are strongly urged to keep in contact with the remarketing agent because notices and required information pertaining to the remarketing of the class A-5 notes sent to the clearing agencies by the administrator or the remarketing agent, as applicable, may not be communicated in a timely manner to the related beneficial owners.
