No, that process is internal to the cert creator. I mean the actual 
out-of-pocket cost incurred each time you deliver an exam form (a single 
instance of a set of items to be scored as a single exam) to VUE or 
Prometric for delivery through their network.

If you discover after publishing that one item is flawed and needs 
changing, you need to (pay to) republish the whole form. As you may 
expect, this cost can increase dramatically if dealing with multiple 
languages.
