What does this mean for exam pricing?

I believe the email is just a heads up that prices are changing. Look for more detailed pricing information and structure, on February 1st.

I think Stephen is right here. I was used to seeing the new price list come out in January, however, it looks like it was delayed a month. According to the whisperings I've heard, it will be about a 3% increase.

 

[Abby N Krane]

I know they are going up. I don't remember the latest %. I think our business development manager told us late fall it was be 2% or 3% like @Rick Butler mentioned. Happens every year. We had to factor it into an RFP we were writing at the time so had checked with our business development manager. We've already received new pricing for materials.

Out on the interwebs, the newbies are freaking out about the price increases. Sec+ went from $392 to $404. A whole $12.

 

[Red Kohler]

Psychologically this is the same as with buying anything… would you pay $200 or $199.99.
Thought the $404 seems a bit off, they should have gone for $399 instead. It ‘looks’ cheaper than $404… ?
