It's not so different from professional exams in Canada/Untied States. Applicants with some wealth to put into a tutor are often more successful, while also requiring a not insignificant fee to write the exam, effectively gatekeeping professional colleges from the less well-off.
E: to clear up some confusion...there is a fee paid by the person taking/writing/being assessed by the exam. Apparently the meaning 'to write' an exam is not consistent, but I intended the Canadian/British English meaning.
What does this mean?
I read it as it costs money to take the the exam. So in that sentence 1. pay tutor 2. pay for exam.
Are you having trouble with the English or the lack of specificity regarding the amount of the fee?
Be kind to strangers. Maybe he did have trouble with English.
I am being kind and not assuming I know what they mean. I'm willing to explain the English if that's the problem.
You're not being kind by assuming I want to insult them.
How would you explain the English when there's clearly an error there? We can only make a best guess as to the actual intended meaning.
Where is the error?
I think only British say "to write an exam", for Americans and a lot of non English speakers "to take" is more common. That creates confusion.
The University of York in the UK uses it to mean that the student is being assessed and writing answers to the questions posed in the exam.
Which is what I said... Do you have issues understanding English?
Wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Or did someone nibble on your butthole while you were asleep? Jerk off, or something, it'll help release that aggression you have. It isn't healthy, hun.

I'm neither Asian nor German, but maybe the dictionary in York has a different definition.
'Write the exam'.
That's British: see the University of York using the expression. For the USAians out there, it means to "take" the exam.
TIL. My country uses British English but I've never heard that expression my entire life.
