The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Salesforce Certified Application Architect. 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.

'Salesforce Certified Application Architect' appears in the official Architect retake table (USD 200). Pearson VUE collects taxes at registration.
