Testing Fees

Acceptable Forms of Payment

  • Cash is preferred (because there’s never issues with cash)
  • Zelle is also accepted (however sometimes people don’t know how to use it, have limits on their account or find the transaction won’t go thru. If you choose to use Zelle please be sure you have used it and know how to use it and know that it will actually work. If you come to the test and cannot make the Zelle work then we would need to cancel your test for the day)
