Extra costs to plan for
- Preparation: optional French courses, coaching or study materials.
- Travel and stay: the exam is held in person, so you may need to travel to another city.
- Retesting: you may have to pay the fee again if you miss the test, arrive late, forget documents or retake.
- Validity: a new fee may apply if your result's two-year validity runs out before you submit it.
- Extras: result review requests or replacement certificates may carry separate charges.
My Advice
Time your exam so your result is still valid when you submit your profile. Book only when your practice scores are consistently where you need them, because a retake can mean paying the fee again.
