*This fee is paid one time for each registration, regardless of the number of tests for which you are registering.

The fees for Internet registration, telephone registration, and changes to registration made on the Internet must be paid using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). Bank cards without a VISA or MasterCard logo cannot be accepted. The merchant name that will appear on your credit card statement is "NES—Test Fee."

The fees for registration by U.S. mail during the regular registration period must be paid by personal check; cashier’s check; money order; or credit, debit, or check card (VISA or MasterCard only). Fees for registration by U.S. mail during the late registration period must be paid by cashier’s check; money order; or credit, debit, or check card (VISA or MasterCard only). Fees for other services requested by mail ("Additional Service Fees" listed in the table above) must be paid by cashier’s check or money order. Checks and money orders should be made payable to National Evaluation Systems in U.S. dollars. Please write the last five digits of your social security number on your payment. Do not send cash.

If you register by U.S. mail, you must enclose the correct payment with your registration form, including, if applicable, one or more original absentee vouchers issued to you by NES.

Payment Policies

If you register to take the same subtest on multiple test dates and pass the subtest on the first test date, you will not be issued a refund for your additional registrations on the basis of your passing performance.

If, for any reason, your payment for a test date or test service does not clear (for example, if your personal check is returned by the bank or if you dispute a credit card charge), you will have an outstanding balance with NES. In this case

• you will be assessed an additional fee by NES to cover the processing required to clear your account;
• you will not be allowed to register for future test dates until your balance, which includes the additional fee, is paid in full;
• you must make your payment to clear your account by cashier’s check or money order only, unless you are making a subsequent credit card payment for additional services, in which case your credit card will be billed for both the outstanding balance and the additional requested services.

Additionally, if a personal check submitted by you is returned by the bank, you will not be allowed to make any future payments by personal check.

If you have any outstanding balance owed by you to NES 30 calendar days after a test administration for which you were registered, all of your scores for that test date will be permanently voided and will not be reported to you or to the CTC. It is your responsibility to ensure that your account with NES is paid in full and all payments have cleared by this deadline. Any payment received later than 30 calendar days after the test date will be used to clear your account but will not alter the permanent voiding of your scores. You may wish to call NES prior to this deadline to confirm that your payment has been received and your account is clear.

The following additional policies apply to you when you have an outstanding balance with NES:

• If you attempt to pay for any further services by credit card, your credit card will be billed for the amount of all services you have requested, as well as the outstanding balance owed by you to NES. You agree to pay for all such services and outstanding balances in the event your credit card company does not.
• If you attempt to pay for any further services by check or money order, any payments received will be applied first to your outstanding debt, with any excess applied to the requested services.
• Any credits or refunds for which you may be eligible will be applied first to your outstanding debt, with any excess to be returned to you.
