AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate Exam retake

Currently, there is no standard free retake option for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate exam. However, AWS occasionally offers promotions that may include free retakes or discounts on certification exams.

For example, there was a recent promotion where even if you failed the exam, you could retake it for free. These promotions are typically time-limited and not always available.

It's worth noting that after passing an AWS certification exam, you usually receive a 50% discount voucher that can be used for your next exam. This isn't a free retake of the same exam, but it does provide a significant discount on future certifications.

If you're looking to save on exam costs, it's a good idea to:

1. Check the AWS Training and Certification website regularly for any ongoing promotions.
2. Look out for announcements on AWS's LinkedIn page, as they sometimes share voucher information there.
3. Consider taking advantage of free training resources on AWS Skill Builder to thoroughly prepare before attempting the exam.

While free retakes aren't standard, AWS does offer various ways to make certification more accessible, including discounts and occasional promotions.
