The current Security+ certification is not a generic "cyber" badge. CompTIA frames SY0-701 around five weighted domains, hands-on performance-based work, and a fixed exam window of 90 minutes. The voucher price is $425, the exam can include maximum of 90 questions, and the passing score is 750 on a scale of 100-900.
Where to buy a Security+ exam voucher
The primary source for CompTIA exam vouchers is CompTIA's official marketplace at store.comptia.org. The standard U.S. price is $425 for SY0-701. Authorized Academic Resellers sometimes offer discounts for students at accredited institutions. CompTIA's CertMaster Learn bundles include a voucher with training materials at a bundled price.
How to save on the exam
CompTIA periodically runs promotions through its partner network. Military and veterans may qualify for free or discounted vouchers through programs such as the CompTIA partnership with Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) or through GI Bill benefits. Some employers reimburse exam costs after passing — checking your employer's tuition assistance or professional development budget before purchasing is worth the effort.
