Is there a way to to register so that if I do not pass the first time I can take the second time for free or at a discounted price?
Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no discount available for repeating the exam. Definitely not free. You can, however, take the practice test online at any time for $30.
If your employer has a premium support contract, then they can request up to 5 (or some number) certification exam vouchers (free) per year, only for the people who are named as the support contacts, in which case you would need to be one of the folks who open PMRs and resolve a lot of problems. At least that was the case 2 to 4 years ago, so it may still be.

There used to be a voucher where if you failed the exam the first time, you could take it the 2nd time for "free". This voucher cost $30 more than normal.
That was a couple of years ago though, so I don't know if they still do it.

The IBM "retake for free" promotion was named the "Take It Again" program. You can still find some IBM web pages that refer to the program, like:
http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/news/ws_20130128d.shtml
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/edu ... ation.html
However, if you click on the Take It Again links, you will get IBM's "broken link" page instead of the current status of the promotion.
The best way to monitor if or when they might re-introduce the Take It Again promotion is to subscribe to the IBM certification Facebook page or Twitter feed. IBM is publishing their Credentials Certification Newsletter each month on Facebook which contains the latest certification news:

From scrolling through their historical posts on the Facebook page, it appears the Take It Again promotion was last offered in July 2013.
