ARE Exam Fees

Note: All fees are subject to change, and are non-refundable unless otherwise noted.

Each Division: $210

See the ARE 4.0 Guidelines for payment options.

*Fees are in U.S. dollars. Candidates testing in Canada will be charged the 6 percent Government Sales Tax in addition to each test fee.

Rescheduling Fee: $35

In the event that you need to reschedule an exam division, a $35 rescheduling fee will apply.  This fee will be assessed each time a candidate makes any changes to his/her previously scheduled appointment. Candidates will be required to select their future appointment date at the time they notify the Prometric Candidate Services Call Center of their schedule change. The only acceptable form of payment for this fee is by credit card.

Rescheduling an existing appointment must take place no later than 12:00 noon ET (Eastern Time) on the third business day prior to the candidate's scheduled appointment. Please note that Saturday is considered a business day.

May I reschedule an exam appointment on 30 June 2013 or earlier for after the blackout?
Yes. You must contact ARE Operations in writing at areoperations@prometric.com. You will be given instructions on how to confirm your cancellation and receive a refund (minus the $35 rescheduling fee). Once the blackout is lifted in August 2013, you may reschedule the appointment, paying the full exam fee. [More Blackout FAQs]
