Dantes testing fee? - Rhashad - 01-19-2010
I'm planning to take my first Dantes and was blown away by a listed exam fee. Is $80+$70 normal? I don't expect dantes to be priced the same as Clep but my goodness. Cleps are $18 bucks and the fee for Dsst is $70?
could this be a typo?
DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST)

Afraid not. If you're getting CLEP's for $18 then you're getting quite the deal anyway.

I don't know where you can get CLEP for $18 they are usually about $75 where I go.
I just pais $80 for a Dantes on Friday plus $35 for the testing fee at the CC. I consider $115 for 3 credits a great deal.
My local CC and any others I know charge at least $100 per credit plus other fees, so I just saved over $200 by taking that Dantes

The cost for Cleps are $72 About the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
and DSST's are $80 DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com, the fee that can vary
is the test center fee. The local CC where I took my DSST charges a fee of $15 to administer a Clep or DSSt exam.
Where/how are you taking Cleps for only $18 ?
FYI the cost for clep at UAB can be found here College Level Examination Program (CLEP) . It appears they are charging $72 clep fee and $30 administration fee. I agree that the $70 admin fee at UAB for DSST seems way to high. I would look around for another testing site.

The UOP in Meridian was charging me $10 for administration fees, and a couple of times they just waived it as a thank you for being such a regular customer. :o
A $70 admin fee is ridonkulous. Find another testing center, if you can.

the actual Clep fee is $18 where I go, the exam is $72. I'm awestruck that the testing fee for Dantes is so high.
I've tried calling the only two other places and noone is returning my call. The price of living in Alabama.

When you say the actual CLEP fee is $18, you're talking about the price you pay directly to University of Alabama, correct?
I would definitely find another testing center. Seventy dollars is WAY too high to pay as an administration fee for a DSST test. I only have to pay $12 to my testing center.
