How much does the CISM exam cost?
$760, or $575 for members
What you actually pay
- Exam fee: $760
- Member price: $575 — the vendor charges members less for the same exam.
This is the vendor's list price. Local taxes, rescheduling fees and any retake are billed separately by the test provider, so check your booking confirmation for the final amount.
Is it worth booking yet?
A failed attempt costs the fee a second time, so the $760 is really a bet on being ready. The cheapest way to protect it is to know your weak domains before you book, not after.
