What the fee covers
Knowing the boundary of the price stops the surprise costs later.
| Item | Included in the exam fee |
|---|---|
| The exam session | Yes, including the 60-minute session |
| Exam retake | Covered by the published terms |

The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). Everything else on your path to certification, revision material included, sits outside this price, and that is where most of the budget of a certification actually goes.
Note from the vendor record: Scrum Alliance does not sell a standalone exam attempt; a certified 16-hour course is required first and course prices are set by trainers.
