For3:

CSA training is free, but you need to pay for the exam. If you are working within the partner ecosystem, you may get the first attempt free.

Tips for the CSA Exam (Certified System Administrator)

CSA is the first and foundational exam in your ServiceNow journey. Here are some tips to help you prepare effectively:

• Study the training material thoroughly – Go through it line by line, word by word, at least 2–3 times.

• Practice the labs multiple times – Do each lab 3–4 times. Don’t just complete them; carefully read and understand the instructions as well.

• Follow the official eBook – Review it thoroughly at least 2–3 times to reinforce your understanding.

• Watch my experience video – I’ve shared my own preparation journey and tips here:

Good luck on your CSA journey!

You can register for exam within Servicenow University itself.

Regarding cost :

In Servicneow University - Ondemand training is free.

No Certification exam is free of cost until and unless any  campaign /promo is going on.

Currently, there is no free promo is going on for CSA.

So You have to pay Registration cost +tax.
