Service now CSA exam for Australia Version

[Prashant Bijam1]

Hi,

I have purchased the ServiceNow CSA exam on 26 April, and I have a 90-day window to schedule it, which is valid until 25 July.

I understand that the Australia release is expected to be officially launched around May–June 2026. Could you please someone clarify: if I schedule and take the exam in July month , will the exam & certification be based on the Australia release or the Zurich release?

Hi @Prashant Bijam1 

I think there is confusion, you can schedule exam any time but when you registered for exam then you have to schedule exam with in 90 days. Till time you did not register, you have no time limits. 90 days window start only after, you registered for exam.

Also Australia release plan on GA is 7th May and immediately exam will not come in to latest version so you will be still on Zurich only 

Also as per experience a little get changed when new version comes which you can cover via release notes etc.

Hi @Prashant Bijam1 

Australia release is expected to be available in Q2 (approximately May 2026) .

Therefore, if you schedule and take the Certified System Administrator (CSA) mainline exam in July 2026 or later, it is highly likely to be based on the Australia release, following the standard practice of upgrading certification exams shortly after the new family release goes GA (General Availability). 

There is no officially declared date confirming when the Australia-based CSA exam will go live. 

That said, if you already feel well prepared for the exam, it would be advisable to go ahead and take it.

Delaying the exam solely to avoid the Delta exam may not be necessary, as the Delta is generally considered manageable.
