ARE Exam Fees

Each Division: $210

This fee is non-refundable. 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.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation of an appointment is not permitted. If you cancel an exam, regardless of the reason, your testing fee is non-transferable and non-refundable.

No Show Policy

If you fail to arrive for your scheduled appointment or attempt to reschedule without giving the required notice, you will forfeit the entire test fee.
