There is generally a fee charged for taking the FCC licensing exam. It has been so long since I took the exam I don’t recall if I paid for the actual license. I don’t think I did. Interestingly, I am about to upgrade my license in three weeks. The local testing fee is $13 or $14 bucks.
I presume you are not currently licensed? Where are you located? Perhaps I can steer you to a local testing site in your area. Freep mail me.
