Sanantone, would you mind clarifying on the registration procedure?

I understand that after applying I'd have to register for the CBE (where I'd indicate my start date). Do I pay the CBE fee at this point? Is ProctorU's fee included?

I'd then receive access to the prep area, but will not be able to schedule the exam prior to my start date. Correct me if I'm wrong. What does the prep area contain?

Next, I'd use the recommended textbook and the materials in the prep area to prepare for the CBE.

Once I'm ready, schedule and take the test via ProctorU. Are there any additional fees at this point? How long is the testing period (i.e. 6 mths for UExcels, 1 yr for TCC)?

Is there a transcript fee?

TIA!

I can only answer some of those questions right now. I'm hoping to take the exam during Spring Break. You indicate your start date on the application. IIRC, the application fee is $25, but I used a coupon code. If you contact enrollment to express interest, they might send you a coupon code before you apply. I do not know if you have to wait until after the start date to register for the CBE, but I'm pretty sure you can't take it until after the start date. Registering for it does not cost anything. You pay the $250 when you schedule the CBE. I also do not know how long you have to take it. I'm assuming that it's somewhat like TESC where you have to take it before the term is over even though they give you 12 months to retake the exam if you fail. I really could be wrong on this.

The prep area is supposed to contain topics you should study and practice questions. I haven't taken a look at it yet because, the last time I logged in, they were having technical difficulties with my account. Maybe if I dig a little, I can find the transcript fee, but I can't find it right now.
