No. The CISM exam fee is not included in the course fee as it is directly paid to ISACA for membership, application and examination.
ISACA uses and reports scores on a common scale of 200 to 800. For example, the scaled score of 800 represents a perfect score with all questions answered correctly; a scaled score of 200 is the lowest score possible and signifies that only a small number of questions were answered correctly. You must achieve a score of 450 or higher to pass the CISM exam.
The CISM Certification cost varies from $450 - $760 based on the type of registration and whether you are a registered member or not. For additional information, please visit: http://www.isaca.org/certification/pages/exam-registration.aspx
After successful completion of the CISM training, you will be awarded the course completion certificate along with the 16 CPE certificate from Certs Learning.
CISM exams are conducted three times a year, in July, September and December. To find exam locations and dates please visit: www.isaca.org/certification/pages/exam-locations.aspx
If you are unable to take the exam, you can request a deferral of your registration fees to the next exam date. To learn more about deferring your exam, including deferral deadlines and costs, please visit: http://www.isaca.org/certification/pages/exam-deferral.aspx.
