What is the fee for canceling an ARE exam appointment?

• A. No fee if canceled within 24 hours.
• B. $100 fee up to one hour before the scheduled appointment.
• C. 50% of the test fee.
• D. $150 flat fee.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is understanding how late cancellation fees work for ARE exam appointments. The policy uses a fixed amount for cancellations made close to the start time. In this case, canceling up to one hour before the scheduled appointment incurs a $100 fee. That means if you cancel more than an hour before, you avoid the fee, but if you cancel within that last hour, the $100 charge applies. This explains why the option describing a $100 fee in the window up to one hour before is the correct choice. The other options don’t fit because they either imply no fee when canceling within a day, or propose a percentage or a higher flat amount, which isn’t how this policy is set. Always check your latest confirmation from NCARB/Prometric, as policies can change.
