Only the beginning Juniper exam is free, so let's not go off the deep end
here. They're still $1,250 for the labs! M-series has two of those...
ER-Series has only one.

Exactly what is the "increased" value to test takers?

Somebody help me here...

Another $150.00 per attempt...

Pretty STEEP.

And where's the 6 months notice.

It's like I went to sleep last night, checked my mail and on September 8th I
found out that the price increase was on Spet 7, 2007...

Pretty shoddy....

Did this come up at Networkers in July at least...?

Funny - some exams went up like 5% - from $300.00 to $315.00

Others went up from 25% - from $125.00 to $150.00 like
640-801

And the lab jumped like 12% or so by $150.00

Any one else steamed?

Explain the added value? Why are not all exams going up...

Well, I guess one can always study Cisco, but not take the exams at all.

I mean how impressive one might appear to be if one knows the IOS pretty
decently and does NOT even hold a CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA...

Lots of jobs do not necessarily require certification at all.

Most of my previous jobs have not required certification - so I wonder
where's the added value?

What motivates a seasoned veteran to hang on... paper holds anything?

Did they add more questions?
