To pass the 70-523-VB exam you need 700, and the official registration fee is $150 USD. Since a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking means paying $150 USD in full again — treat the booking as the last step, not the first. Work through the Lead2Passed practice questions until your timed scores sit comfortably above 700, and only then lock in your exam date.
