Correct Answer
A. Exam fee — $15; returned-check fee — $20
Detailed Explanation
The current schedule uses two different dollar amounts. The July–December 2026 exam notice states the written exam fee is $15 and that a returned check will trigger a $20 fee. For contrast, the $60 amount belongs to the commission application under Executive Law §131, not the exam session itself.
