About this exam
What the official page says
  • Price: "150 USD"
  • Duration: "130 minutes"
  • Questions: "65 questions"
  • Validity: "This certification is valid for 3 years"

Certifications are valid for 3 years; renew for 3 more years by passing the latest version of the exam (or a listed higher-level exam) while still active, and many Associate, Professional and Specialty certs can instead be maintained for 1 more year on AWS Skill Builder.
