CC Exam Fail - Retake Procedure

Hi Everyone. I was part of the 1M who got the free voucher for the exam sadly I recently failed the CC Exam. 

 

If I will be retaking the CC exam again do I need to pay $199 this time? and If I will be paying, do I need to wait 30days before I can retake the exam again? 

 

Hope someone can give an advice regarding on this process.

 

Also, to those who failed before can you share your experiences and additional materials that you used on how did you pass it after retake?

 

Thank you!

Yes, you will have to pay the next time around. I also failed my exam this morning. I saw the opportunity to attempt the exam since it was FREE. I felt a little discouraged but commended myself for taking such a bold step as I desire to pursue further studies in the field of Cybersecurity, though I did not have any prior background knowledge or experience. You will have to study, study, study, study and practice the questions that are available at your disposal. You will definitely need to pace and apply yourself to the materials given and you may want to also extend your reading outside of what is available to you on the ISC2 platform. I am sorry that I won't be able to share any of the exam specs with you as I am committed to honour the ISC2 Code of Ethics/Conduct. I wish you all the best at your next attempt!
