<p>I agree. To quote the College Board:</p>
<p>“The fee for each exam is $84. Learn more about AP Exam fees, including information about fee reductions.”[AP:</a> Fees](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/cal_fees.html)</p>
<p>Even Ticketmaster doesn’t charge that kind of markup! Whoever is collecting your $140 is making a bundle.</p>
<p>OTOH, I hope you are not planning to take the GRE, MCAT or LSAT, as those exams are pricey. ($140, $210 and $127 respectively)</p>
