You pass the IBM Enterprise Storage Sales V3 exam at 800 (on a scale of 200-900), and each attempt costs USD 65.00 — fail, and that fee is due again in full for the retake. Treat mock exams as insurance: keep practicing with Real4test until your scores sit comfortably above 800 (on a scale of 200-900) twice in a row, then schedule the real C4090-959 exam.

What are the eligibility requirements for the C4090-959 exam?
No formal prerequisites recommended; basic knowledge of enterprise storage and sales experience helpful Since IBM revises these rules from time to time, confirm the current prerequisites on the official exam page (https://www.ibm.com/training/certification) before booking your IBM Enterprise Storage Sales V3 exam.
