Application and Exam Fees

The ABR has an exam fee model. Candidates are charged an application fee and a fee for each exam. If a candidate does not fully pass either component of the Certifying Exam (oral or computer-based) on the first administration, a one-time re-exam fee will apply to retake that specific exam. Please note that all fees are subject to change. Fees must be paid within myABR.

Please note that application and exam fees are not refundable.
