Ways to bring the cost down
Free official study guide
HashiCorp publishes the full study guide, the exam review, and the sample questions at no cost. Buying a course is optional.
What a retake costs
A retake costs another $70, the same as the first attempt. That single line is larger than every other avoidable cost on this page combined, which is why practising until your mock scores clear the pass line is the cheapest thing you can do.
Check HashiCorp's current retake policy for the waiting period between attempts before you rebook.

Typical preparation budget
Preparation for Terraform Associate can genuinely cost nothing. The realistic range people spend is $0 to $120, and the top of that range buys convenience rather than a better chance of passing.
Our questions, explanations, and cheat sheets are free, and the explanation is never paywalled. That is the part of a paid practice set you are actually buying, so it is the part we do not charge for.
The cheapest way to avoid the $70 line on this page is to be ready before you book. Free Terraform Associate practice questions with a full explanation on every answer.
