    It makes sense. Less people will take the CCNA composite after passing the ICND1 though :P

    No. I'm enrolled in a Cisco Networking Academy, and we were told in class today.

    Not to late (I think) to buy a voucher that will still be good when you are ready to test.

    You can also schedule a test. Then if you don't want it at that time, schedule for it later.

    It keeps me knowing I have a test coming up, and keeps me motivated from loosing track.

    Its all greed. There is no good reason for a price increase.

    It makes sense that a test that covers both the ICND1 and ICND2 costs twice the amount of both tests put together.

    Whats worse here in Australia is we get charged AUD$147 (US$151) for the ICND exams compared to the US$125 and thats direct from pearson.

    Wonder if vouchers purchased in the US are valid for Australia ?

    Its still not to late to buy vouchers.
    Goals CCNA by dec 2013, CCNP by end of 2014

    Not quite. Your post implied that the CCNA Security exam price went up, but I just checked Pearson VUE and the 640-533 exam is still $250 like before. Were you referring to the CCDA exam?

    My bad. I thought the CCNA Security was $200. Yes I was talking about the CCDA too.
