You sure about that John? I have heard from both my local testing center & another person that works for an ATEC that the beta exams are typically 1/2 price or $50 like I think Garrett said on this thread. Although - my local testing center said they thought it would be the same with this beta, but they wouldn't know for sure until registration period began.
