SC 200 Exam Cost and How to Book It

If you are searching for a single number for sc-200 exam cost, Microsoft does not publish one. Its official exam page states that price is based on the country or region in which the exam is proctored, and the actual figure only appears once you sign in and start booking. This page explains what Microsoft does state about booking, delivery, and retakes, plus a short note on taking the exam from India.

How much is the sc 200 exam price?

Microsoft shows the price for your region at checkout, inside its own scheduling flow, rather than listing it on the public exam page. If you want to budget in advance, sign in to Microsoft's certification portal and start the booking process for Exam SC-200; the price will display before you are asked to pay. We do not publish a number here because Microsoft has not published one for us to confirm.

How to book the SC-200 exam

Exam SC-200 is scheduled through Pearson VUE. Microsoft's exam page does not clearly separate a test-centre option from an online-proctored option on that page, so confirm which delivery mode is available to you when you reach the Pearson VUE scheduling step. Have your identification ready, since Pearson VUE verifies identity at both booking and check-in.

Vouchers

Microsoft's SC-200 exam page, as verified for this guide, does not mention an exam voucher program for this specific exam. If you have a voucher from an employer program or a Microsoft event, apply it during the Pearson VUE checkout step and confirm its terms directly with Microsoft, since voucher programs can change.

Retake cost and timing

If you fail, Microsoft's retake policy allows you to book again 24 hours after the first attempt. For later attempts, the required wait changes; check Microsoft's retake policy page for the current rule before you schedule again. Each retake is booked and paid for separately through the same Pearson VUE process, so there is no discount built into the retake itself, based on what Microsoft publishes.

Taking the SC-200 exam from India

Microsoft's published price is region-based rather than a single global figure, and Microsoft does not publish a separate India-specific rate on the exam page we reviewed. Candidates booking from India go through the same Pearson VUE scheduling flow as anywhere else, and the price shown at checkout reflects the country or region set for the booking. If your organization has a regional Microsoft partner discount, confirm it directly with that partner rather than assuming it applies automatically at checkout.

What to check before you pay

Before you confirm a booking date, verify three things against Microsoft's own pages rather than a third-party summary: the current price shown at checkout for your region, the delivery mode (test centre or online-proctored) offered at your chosen date, and that the exam's status is still active with no retirement notice attached. Exam status can change between when you first read about the exam and when you are ready to book, so a final check at booking time avoids a scheduling mistake you cannot easily undo.

It also helps to separate the cost of the exam itself from the cost of preparation. Microsoft's official study guide and Microsoft Learn training paths are free to use, so the main additional cost most candidates weigh is whether to add a paid mock exam on top of free study material, and whether the time saved by finding weak domains early is worth that cost compared with risking a retake fee.

For what is actually tested once you have booked, see exam format & scoring and the full exam objectives. If you are still deciding whether to book at all, check prerequisites and the study plan first.
