The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I. 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: Active but renamed: official Trailhead credential page and exam guide now use 'Salesforce Certified Platform Developer' (formerly 'Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I'), and Salesforce published no retirement date for it; it is not on the official February 1, 2027 retirement list. Prerequisite: None (course attendance highly recommended). Retakes cost USD 100 under the 3-attempts-per-release-cycle policy, and renewal requires the annual release-specific Trailhead maintenance module. Caveats: current official pages do not publish the 'CRT-450' exam code or an official effective date for the rename, so the code should be treated as legacy/unverified.
