How much does the SC-200 certification cost?
The SC-200 exam cost and the SC-200 certification cost are the same figure: what you pay to sit the exam.
Exam fee
$165
What you actually pay
- Exam fee: $165
- On top of the fee: Microsoft does not publish a USD price on the exam page (regional pricing); $165 corroborated by multiple independent third-party sources and matches Microsoft's standard US role-based exam price.
Is it worth booking yet?
A failed attempt means paying again, so the $165 is really a bet on being ready. The cheapest way to protect it is to know your weak domains before you book, not after.
