Clep and Dantes Question

[codface]

I took my first DSST's today and it was $80 per test and a $20 testing fee per test (at Strayer). I have not applied to a school yet but I will be applying to Excelsior later after I get some credits under my belt.

When the lady there was logging me on to take my first test she showed me on the screen where prometric would also be charging a transcription fee because I was not sending the results to a school.

Also when I took my first 2 CLEP tests a few weeks ago, the lady there said I would have to pay a $20 transcription fee, FOR EACH TEST, when I was ready to have those scores sent to a school.

The way I've always understood it was after I racked up some credits thru both CLEP and DANTES and applied to a school, all I had to do was pay one transcription fee (one for CLEP, one for DANTES) and have them send in all of my credits at that time.

Is this correct or am I wrong about this?
