DANTES does not fund the exam fee for a previously funded CLEP exam. If military candidates want to retake a CLEP exam previously funded by DANTES, they need to wait six months and pay the $77 exam fee in addition to the administrative fee required by the test center. The administrative fee is waived if the test center is on base or base-sponsored.
