CIS-RC Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates

Which certification does the CIS-RC exam lead to?

The CIS-RC exam is the official ServiceNow exam behind the Risk and Compliance certification, validating the skills measured by the ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist - Risk and Compliance credential. It sits at the Professional level of the ServiceNow certification program. It also connects to ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA), ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the CIS-RC exam, and how much time do I get?

The CIS-RC exam contains 45 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

What score do I need to pass the CIS-RC exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the CIS-RC exam is Pass/Fail (official passing score not publicly disclosed), and the official registration fee is USD 450. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 45 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Are there any prerequisites for the CIS-RC exam?
