Frequently Asked Questions
Will my voucher still be valid?
All valid vouchers that were valid before the price change will still be valid as long as they have not expired.
If you purchased a voucher from Oracle, your voucher will still be valid through its expiration date and will not require any additional exam fees.
If you were given a discount voucher from Oracle or one of its partners, your discount will be valid at the same rate through its expiration date (for example 25% off the new price).
I registered for an exam that I have not taken yet. Will I need to pay the more?
If you registered and paid for an exam prior to the price change, your exam registration is still valid and no additional fees are required as long as you take the exam at your originally scheduled time. If you change your appointment time or date, additional fees may apply.
