The test cost me 150 USD - and I passed it on my second try (so total 300$ in test costs), and I bought 4 books (3 Cisco Press, 1 Sybex), and the total book cost was about 225$.
Granted, I passed the 640-607 test back in October and since then Cisco has done an overhaul for the CCNA track. However, I believe that the new test is still only 150$ (if you take the combined one, they now have CCNA Basics and Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices as different tests as well).
The
training is way more money than I was prepared to spend, though I hear lots of good things about it.
However, CCNP (which is what I'm working on now), I'll probably end up having to take out loans to get training, as I don't anticipate being able to book-learn my way to passing the exams.
