The cost of the test is $15.00. If you pass the test you may proceed with the next test at no additional cost. You should be prepared and ready for all exams you wish to take. If you are passing your practice exams with consistent scores of 85% or better, you are ready for that exam. If you fail your test and want to retest, there will be an additional $15.00 fee. You will be sent instructions on how to pay via invoice.

Testing is in high demand and by not showing up you are preventing someone else from testing. Please be considerate.
