    Just a guess, but I doubt it matters where you test.... if you are on active duty, it's free (and doesn't touch GI Bill). If you are on active reserve, it's paid for via the GI Bill if you have any left. If you separated from all (like I did), you get zilch. I'm not complaining... it's $70 we're talking about. My brothers & sisters still on a/d deserve a hell of a lot more than that!

    No. You have to be on ACTIVE DUTY status. The test center will ask and will find out.

    Didn't mean to challenge you, but I thought something was a bit off (i had heard conflicting information). In NY it is a bit different, the DMNA reimburses you for fee's

    NYS DMNA Reimbursement Testing Program

    No offense taken. Some test centers will waive the testing fee (about $15) but will charge you for the exam ($70). I looked at the website provided but I don't understand why Guard spouses are getting the exams for free. I pretty sure the DMNA will reimburse you the testing fee not the exam fee but I am be wrong. Sorry about the CAPS Creationstory

    if ur active or ractive eserve its free.. it doesnt count out of GI BIll money... its when ur out of the military that it comes out of that money.. (from what i know)

    i am though 100% sure u can take a test at an active base...even if u are reserve or guard

    Default I took it

    I am Army NG (former AD) and have been taking the tests at the Ed Center at Fort MacPherson, GA and it is free. As long as I had a valid military ID I didnt have to pay anything.

    At the Fort Lewis and McChord AFB education centers in Washington state, the tests are free for anyone with a military ID card (Active duty, Reserve or National Guard). Anyone with military affiliation such as retirees and dependents do not have to pay the registration fee of $15, but pays the $70 test fee. Civilians with no military affiliation pay both the registration fee and the test fee. No matter what category you fit in it is a great deal compared to the hundreds of dollars it would cost to take the class.

    It's the same here in AZ. If you have an ID card, you can test on post/base for free. It doesn't matter if you're Active, Reserve, Guard, Navy, Army, whatever. It all comes out of the DANTES pot.

    ASU West will let you test for free as well. You just have to pay their testing center fee.
