Default Total cost per exam?

How much does it cost for an FSA exam total without any company support?

Accounting for exam fees, and only the most required textbooks. Optional or less useful textbooks can be skimped out on if necessary if I can use a study guide.

Are you asking because you don't know the SOA has a website with this info available (www.soa.org shhhh... don't tell anyone that I told you) or because their website is poorly designed and difficult to find this information?

About $1,500 for exam and SOA notes, maybe $500 for books, and potentially $500-$1000 for a study manual.

It's also going to cost you about 300-800 hours of study time if you want to have a hope of passing.
