Please don't burn me!

[Nate]

Hello everyone, I am new (obviously) and have a question that I can't answer with the search option.
How much does it cost to take the ISA Test... I know about the study guide and several other books, I have already purchased them... I mean the test itself. Do you pay then test?... or test and if you pass then pay? Thanks to everyone in advance.
Also... I will probably not be a climber... I will specialize in pruning ornamentals... I have no problem with heights... but I am a big guy
(6'5" 270 lbs.) , so no climbing.

You pay and then test. Go on the web site and find for yourself I believe it's different for each state.

All you have to do is read the instructions. Follow the links to whatever test you are after.
