^^^ Depends on where you go. Our testing is completely deregulated and privatized, so there are places that will sell you a pass for a few hundred dollars, and some places that fail everyone to generate revenue through re-tests. We know of a pretty straight-shooting place in the city that we're going to use.
Privatization of these types of services has been horrible. Now you have to shop around as the prices are all over the map, service is hit and miss, and there's scammers that sell licenses and so on.
