Since there have been discussions of the WELL Exam being updated in cost, is there any word on the exam being changed as well? Right now, the website indicates the exam is based on the September 2015 Reference Guide, but, that is not currently available online (May 2016 is the latest as of the date of this post). When should we be aware of the exam changing if we are planning to take the exam in October?

Carina, what we've heard from the folks at WELL is that they plan to update the exam each summer starting in 2017.
The changes from the Sept 2015 version of WELL to February 2016 version weren't significant enough to impact the exam.

The WELL Exam Fees was recently updated. At present (as of Oct 12, 2016), the fees depends on where you are taking the exam from (country). Additional discounts apply for folks who are accredited under LEED or if your company is a member of USGBC/ASID. Though a new project certification guide was released in 2016 - the current exam uses the September 2015 WELL Certification Guide. There are some changes especially with how Core and Shell Projects may pursue re-certification under the 2016 version.
