CCNA - Price Jump?

[bobbyforhire]

I have been reading and working hard to get my CCNA. I finally feel as if it's time for me to get it.. went to Pearson VUE to setup the test...


$250.00


I thought this test was $150.00 does anyone know why it went up or am i just getting raked over the coals?

That is why I was so upset about missing the ICND2 (by one question)... $125 a pop.. But it is worth it.. Just schedule it for at least two weeks out and study your tail off every day until!

Well being my broke self i went ahead and signed up for the ICND1 ($125). Test is on the 10th. Three weeks away. I am just doing simple things this week, next week i will move into cram mode, last week is pre testing week. Does anyone know a good...free...place to take a PRE-ICND1 test? I've got alot of material but none of it has a what to expect....when expecting??

Free I would recommend looking over the Cisco ICND1 test material coverage and concentrate on all key points.. You can also check out the Lammle site as he references the material present on the CCENT..
