About this exam
What the official page says
- Price: "300 USD"
- Duration: "180 minutes"
- Questions: "75 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.
After a failed attempt you must wait 14 calendar days to retake, with no limit on attempts, and you pay the full registration fee each time; beta exams can be taken only once.
