Don't worry, nor do most Oracle employees. I was asked to be a beta
tester of the masters exam, and in return for my review ( we actually
spent three days doing the exam because of the amount of time discussing
whether questions were valid, how they should be marked and so on), I
got to sit the exam for free. I think (though I could be wrong) that
normally (like in the OCP) Oracle employees will be charged a somewhat
reduced rate for the masters exam.
But anyway, doesn't IBM pay for you to do these sorts of things? :)

Free? Vat is dis Free? All of us don't work for Oracle (at least not
directly) so we don't get that perk. But thanks for sharing.

all true, but still priced out of line for many of us that would like to
take it and would find it useful.
