Do exam retakes cost anything? No — unlimited retakes are included in the course price. There is no additional charge.
Do the identity verification questions affect my exam score? No — the identity verification questions are separate from the final exam and do not count toward your score. Failing a verification question results in course failure, which is different from failing the final exam.
