Fees are qualified for a nationally standardized norm-referenced achievement test such as the SAT or ACT, an advanced placement (AP) course examination, or any examinations related to college or university admission.

Fees for dual enrollment in an institution of higher education (ie: concurrent enrollment college courses taught in high school).
