Registration

The Google Advertising Fundamentals Exam is currently available in US English only.

Costs
The exam costs US$50. If you're paying in currency other than U.S. dollars, your credit card company will automatically convert this charge into the equivalent in your local currency. This is a non-refundable expense, so make sure you want to take the exam when you register. You'll have to pay this cost each time you take the exam.

Format
This online exam consists of a little over 100 questions of different types and has a time limit of two hours. Once you begin, you can't pause the timer. Therefore, it's important that you take the exam in a location where you won't be disturbed. If your computer shuts down or your browser window closes, the exam's time clock will continue. While you can resume the exam, the lost time can't be regained. If this should happen, please email googlesupport@testsys.com and describe your situation. Issues are reviewed with the test sponsor and handled on a case-by-case basis. Click here for more information about our third-party administrator.
