The $25 fee IS a special discount. Normally they are about $100 at a VUE
or Prometric testing center. I doubt that you will ever see a "teen
discount" because we know that teens can do the job! Did you know that
back in the ancient 70's the head programmer for Atari was 14?

The Exam Cram book is good but the best thing you have going for you is
