To pass the SCNS exam you need 65%, and the official registration fee is $200 - $450 USD. Since a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking means paying $200 - $450 USD in full again — treat the booking as the last step, not the first. Work through the TorrentExam practice questions until your timed scores sit comfortably above 65%, and only then lock in your exam date.
