The SpringSource SFC2.5 exam, officially titled Core Spring 2.5 Certification, is the required test for earning the Core Spring 2.5 Certification certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it validates the skills SpringSource expects from certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as SpringSource Certification Program.

The SFC2.5 exam includes 50 questions, and you have 88-90 to complete it. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count so you know the pace you need to hold, and practice flagging time-consuming items for review instead of stalling on a single question. Timed sessions in the NewPassLeader test engine are the easiest way to build that rhythm before it counts.

You need 75% to pass the SFC2.5 exam, and the official registration fee is USD $188. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again for a retake, so avoid booking your seat on a hunch. Work through the NewPassLeader practice test until your scores sit comfortably above the passing requirement before you schedule the exam.

SpringSource asks candidates to meet the following requirement before registering: No mandatory prerequisites; recommended Java knowledge. Exam policies do change, so confirm the latest details on the official exam page before you book.
