That's what I did, though I spent about $20 on coffee because I did my studying at the coffee shop near my apartment. I went to the coffee shop on my reserve days, did some studying, became friends with some of the regulars and the staff, and after a couple of weeks I took the test. Total around $125 including beverages.
