Application and Exam Fees
The ABR has an exam fee model. Candidates are charged an application fee, a Qualifying Exam fee, and a Certifying Exam fee. If a candidate does not fully pass the computer-based Qualifying Exam or the oral Certifying Exam on the first administration, a one-time re-exam fee will be assessed to retake that exam. Fees must be paid in myABR. Please note, application and exam fees are nonrefundable.
