Center that does not charge proctor fee

[frankiebleyes]

I live in central Tennessee, but am close to both Alabama and Georgia border. Currently all centers close to me charge between $25.00 to $40.00 for a proctor fee for clep and dantes. Does anyone know of a testing center in my area that waives the proctor fee? Any help would be appreciated.

Just a FYI, all the test centers in CA charge for the proctor, unless you are enrolled in the college. AND, they charge between $25 to $250 (yep). So $25 to $40 doesn't sound too bad

I have been to or checked testing centers in NY, NJ, PA, SC, and Florida all of them charged a proctoring fee ranging from $15-$100. I have never heard of a center that doesn't charge a fee.

You may want to investigate Devry University. They did not charge a Proctoring fee when I last took tests there. It is the only testing center I am aware of that does not charge for this service.

Excellent advice! I take all my exams at DeVry since they don't charge a fee.

I live close to Nashville and haven't found any testing centers that don't charge a fee

It would take them a bit of work to set up with DSST, and they might not be able to be set up with CLEP, but also for reference for other proctored exams where permissible, you might want to try your employer or a family member's employer's training or human resource office (or perhaps general manager if they do the equivalent), or a friendly library, high school, or church.

Jonathan, who's found a range of 25 to 70 CAD per test for ad hoc publicly accessible test centres in the Greater Toronto Area. (Mississauga Public Library, yay! University of Toronto, boo.)

Bellhaven College has several campuses. They only administer the DSST...but there is no proctor fee. There is a campus in Atlanta and another in Chatanooga. My daughter was offered cookies at her last exam here in Orlando...Very pleasant people! Belhaven University Adult Completion Degree Programs in Jackson, MS, Orlando, FL, Houston, TX, and Memphis, TN.

To be honest, a $25 fee doesn't sound too bad. You're paying for the cost of the center, computers, proctor, utilities, etc. Also, if you are willing to drive out of state, consider the cost of gasoline and wear and tear on your vehicle, it will probably cost as much as the proctor fee. Also, don't forget to add the cost of your time and what you can do with the extra 2 hrs driving back and forth. Just my two cents.

Under normal circumstances $25.00 wouldn't seem much, but since I lost 12 hours to my local cc, I need to make up 4 tests to graduate, plus two UL for a total of six x $80.00 pop plus two courses at TESC this summer, plus my son's $3,000.00 plus enrollment fee and graduation fee, plus his $1250.00 worth of classes and books for the last two months (I would like to get something out of this myself after expanding all of this over the past few months with him. I know six x $25.00 doesn't seem like much but when you add the test fee and all these other costs its adding up and mama always goes last as we all know. Oh well, just thought I'd ask. I'll check out Bellhaven. Thanks.
