However, if you have still not received any confirmation, I highly recommend you to connect with the support team or the concerned authority regarding this because there might have been some technical issue with the website and it's best to connect with the support team to get the best solution.
Hope this helps,

Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing well. If you fail the CMA Foundation Exam and are attempting it again you must register for the exam and pay the exam fee again. As long as you retake the exam within the 3 year period, you don't have to pay the program entrance fee again. You only need to retake the exam part that was not cleared.
All the best!
