Price increment for Microsoft ​Certificati​ons

If you are planning to do Microsoft Certification in comming month, study faster and schedule for it before 1st July. Microsoft is about to do some significant changes in price of Certification exams effectively from 1t July onwards. Although the discounts available for the certification will be remain same.  IT Academy members, high school, college, or university students enrolled in a degree or diploma program will continue to receive a discount off the retail price of select Microsoft Certification exams.

USA prices go from $125 to $150.  I am now 20% less interested in getting certifications.

Company pays for it, but even if they didn't, $25 per test doesn't make a huge difference for me.
