They may have changed the tests since I took mine, but the VE stations
have
a lot of leway in creating their tests. The only way to know for sure
is to
ask. Each time I went it only cost $6.45 and I could take as many test as
I wanted, each time. So I did. I took the Tech, General, and 13 WPM in
one
sitting and the Advanced, Extra, and the 20 WPM in another.


Where does that $6.45 go? Is there accountability?


In most cases, there is probably some accountability. The main reason for
the charge is to recover the cost of the materials used in administering
the tests. Prices vary from testing station to testing station depending
on what they need to provide the service. The VEs donate their time to
administer the tests and file the necessary paperwork, but do not have
to provide the funding.
