I enjoyed taking the beta exam. Do you have an idea when roughly the final pass / fail results will be available for this cert?

[cskokos_splunk]

Hi there! So glad you enjoyed the certification exam. The results are supposed to be available around September. (Fall of 2023) Hope this helps and good luck!

Hey !

Good to know the result will be available soon (hopefully).

For how long the exam is gonna be free ?

Thanks @cskokos_splunk

Hi,  @cskokos_splunk is the  Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Analyst exam still free ? if yes, until when ? Thank you. 

[inventsekar]

Hi @gawdseyi as the exam is still in beta status, the exam is still free of cost. 

sooon(i feel within a week or two) the exam will be moved out of beta(as per my understanding)

EDIT... yesterday before i wrote that above reply, i saw on the certifications portal that this exam as a beta. and today the portal says the otherwise. as updated in the before reply, the exam is out of beta status. thanks. 

[gawdseyi]

Hi @inventsekar I tried registering for the exam yesterday and it billed the $130, tried again today and the same thing happened. Can I then assume it's past the free beta period? or is there anything different I can do? 

[cskokos_splunk]

Hi @gawdseyi -- The exam is no longer in beta, so the $130 registration fee is correct. Hope you can take the exam!

You will receive an emailed Score Report from Pearson VUE with a pass/fail result.
