ISACA CISM Exam Cost

USD 575 (ISACA member) / USD 760 (non-member)

The exam fee is the published figure above. Budget 240 minutes of exam time, plus the revision time you need for 4 domains. The vendor retake terms vary, so confirm whether a second attempt is charged separately before you budget.

Retake terms for the ISACA CISM are set by ISACA and are not included in the figure above. Check the official exam page before scheduling, because the waiting period is what usually costs you time, not the fee.

The published price for the ISACA CISM does not list a voucher. Discounts usually arrive through employer sponsorship or training budgets rather than from the vendor directly, so check with your employer before paying full price.

No. The exam fee is paid to ISACA and covers the exam itself. Certilum is a separate product: 150 practice questions for this certification, tagged to the official domains, with a difficulty score of 2/10.

Use ISACA's official QAE database, review domain weighting, and practice with case studies. Focus on understanding risk and governance principles rather than memorizing technical facts. Schedule regular study blocks and take timed practice exams to build stamina.
