Query regarding Magento 2 certification

[Mayur Bhuva]

Hello all,

I have a query regarding Magento 2 certification exam.

I have registered for an exam and now I want to know more details about Retake policies.

Also, I want to know that if Magento gives the chance of multiple attempts or we have to pay every time we register for an exam.

Suppose I am going to appear an exam next month and if I get failed then will I be eligible for the second attempt for free or I have to pay again for the exam?

You'll have  to pay for every attempt.

Hi @Mayur Bhuva,

I can't find the official links right now but the rules for re-take were something like:

• If your fail first time you have to wait 15 days for re-take.
• In the past, there was a 20% discount for re-take.
• If you fail again you need to wait for 90 days (if my memory is working fine)

The URL for official information should be: https://u.magento.com/certification/faq but is not available at this time.

I know the information isn't complete but maybe this can help you a little bit.
Maybe the @MagentoUTeam can provide detailed information.

@Tarandeep Singh

Thank you, brother.

Now It's more clear.

I have one last question.

I see it is written that "You can retake this exam 5 times".

So I just want to know, Will I need to pay some amount for each and every time or it will be free up to 5 times?

@Damian Culotta answered that I will need to pay some amount.

I can see that you are M2 certified that's why I am just confirming this.

@Mayur BhuvaYou have to pay for the certification every time you sign up for the exam. It does not matter if that is your 1st attempt or 5th attempt. There was a time when Magento use to send the coupon or deal like buy 1 and you can attempt the exam twice or 20% etc.

I did not see those offer for past couple of years. Let know if you have any other questions.

For retake do we get same kind of questions like previous one?

[Tarandeep Singh]

@aleksandr_jene

It the same exam. Questions and their answer will be random. Most of the questions will be same as previous.

Thanks a lot to hellotaran your answer. I thought it will be again another
different 60 questions. Have you experienced with this? Or you know this by
your friends?
Do you think majority of 2nd time retakes pass the exam?
Please help me I'm a bit afraid to face 2nd time.
Thanks again.
