SL is 99/month membership + classes, but not all are $59 anymore.  They seem to all be under $100, and proctoring is included, as are needed texts.  Also, coupon codes are available.
Saylor is generally free to take a class, but you have to pay the proctoring fee for ProctorU in order to qualify for credit.  I thought that was $35, but I could be wrong.

$25 if you schedule 72 hours in advance. There are more fees if you schedule 2-72 hours in advance or less than 2 hours in advance.

Ohhh...it looks like they charge different fees depending on the length of the test.  My school finals were longer, so they were more.  A 2-hour test is $25.

No, each company/school that contracts with ProctorU works out a deal with them directly.  So TECEP's are free to take through ProctorU.  Ed4Credit is also free.  Same with SL.   The fee is included in the price of the exam.

The price for a TECEP is $117.

TECEP's Residency Waiver is $2500 for out of state students.  But, if you take an exam or two through Study.com, you're eligible to enroll at TESU with the Study.com affiliate membership.  You then get a waiver for the Cornerstone ($300), and a $700 discount on the Residency Waiver, as well as a discount on any TESU Online courses you take (like the capstone, which would run you $1497 as an OOS student, but instead you get it for $1098).  So paying $199 for a month of Study.com not only gets you 6 credits (2 courses) but you save $1400 and a course (the cornerstone).  It's a great deal.
