Well I may have good news for you, all cost for exams are reimbursable by the VA, just submit a claim and they will right you a check. I know many people who have exited the service and done this with ease, it takes about 2 months to get you money but it is worth the wait. Also the GI Bill wont pay for exams anyways so you definitely didnt miss out by not using it because you couldn't. More good news, your GI Bill goes up every year and is not locked in at when you enlisted so you too probably have the 39K or whatever it is, unless of course you have a different GI Bill (call to service, reserves or Vietnam vet)
I hope this info helps.

I understand where you're coming from, and to each his (or her) own. I sat down and figured it out the other night, and I've probably spent close to $3,000 dollars on my exams in the last year. ($70+$20 for DSST's, $65+$20 for Cleps). There's a part of me that wishes I would have used the GI Bill or my Chapter 31 assistance for that $3000. Still, I want to hoard as much as I can since I enlisted back in the days of 15k'sh GI Bill, and I was in the Marine Corps which didn't jump on board with some of the higher education plans. <--- *Jealous of the Air Force*

My comment was merely a small example of the inimidation I feel when I look at some of the graduate school tuitions. I honestly can't imagine spending 90-130k on a two year EMBA program, but it helps somewhat to realize that my GI bill will pay for at least 20k of it. I"m still looking around for other alternatives (Oxford is only 60k, but a hellacious GMAT score).
