Exam fees

Can anyone advise me, what the fees tend to be for examinations in private schools? I presume this is referring to GCSE/A level exams so wouldn't apply every year but wondering what sort of cost this would be. Most of our local independent schools charge separately for this from the main termly fees. Thanks

It's a few hundred pounds for GCSEs and A Levels. You do get the deposit back at some point near when you pay for the A levels exam costs so it's really the GCSEs that you need to take into account. Unfortunately exam boards keep hiking up the cost of exams, it's met by the school in the state sector.

Thank you, that's very helpful. It's all new to us.
