The CPIM-SMR exam is a core requirement for the APICS Certified in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM) certification at the Professional level. Earning this validates your skills for credentials like CPIM Part 1: Basics of Supply Chain Management, CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional).

Candidates will face Approximately 150 (computer-based multiple choice) questions and have 150-180 to complete the exam. This means you need strict time management. We strongly recommend taking timed practice tests to ensure you can maintain a steady pace without rushing when under actual exam time pressure.

The official examination fee is USD 495–695 (varies by membership status and region), and you must achieve a score of Scaled score; typically passing is 300 (on a 200–350 scale) to pass. Since retaking the test requires paying the full fee again, utilizing accurate practice materials for thorough self-assessment beforehand is crucial to protect your investment.

Candidate requirements include: No formal prerequisites, but completion of CPIM Part 1 (Basics of Supply Chain Management) is strongly recommended before taking Part 2 (SMR).. Please verify all eligibility details on the official certification page before scheduling your appointment.
