Increasing the cost discriminates in the wrong way - ability to pay, not ability to pass.
It would be increasing costs so a judgement can be made to dissuade unsuitable candidates, your points are valid it could prevent suitable candidates from studying, but it would also maybe focus candidiates to try harder as there could be candidiates who take the exam with the attitude " I will try it and if i fail I fail" knowing they are not severely- UK speaking- out off pocket.
Its just a discussion point.
I think this debate is like an IRSE exam question- numerous different answers and directions each with valid points.
