Expect 50 questions with a time limit of 90 minutes. The smart move is to treat time as a resource: allocate a rough budget per question, mark the stubborn ones and move on, then return with fresh eyes. Two or three full timed runs in the PracticeVCE desktop engine — which recreates the real exam environment — will calibrate your pace far better than untimed reading ever could.

No mandatory prerequisites; recommended basic BPM knowledge and familiarity with Pega Platform Keep in mind that vendors adjust their requirements over time, so verify the current rules on the official exam page (PEGAPCBA86V1 official exam details) before you schedule anything.

The official fee for the PEGAPCBA86V1 exam is $175–$190 USD, and passing requires 70%. Remember that the fee buys exactly one attempt — a retake costs the same amount again.
