CSCP Exams FAQs

Please note the last opportunity to take the 2011 Learning System examination is 23rd June 2012 via paper and pencil. If you wish to take the examination via computer based training the last window for this is 7th April 2012 - 19th May 2012. We enourage candidates to take the examination in this window, so that they have the opportunity to re-take the exam in June (via p & p) if they are not successful.

Is there an expiration date for approved eligibility applications or APICS authorization-to-test notices?
No. Once a candidate’s APICS CSCP exam eligibility application is approved and the candidate receives an authorization-to-test notice, he or she will not be required to reapply for eligibility to register for and take an APICS CSCP exam in future.

What MUST I bring to the exam?
1. A primary identification, which must include a recent photograph and signature, such as a:
Drivers licence Military ID Company ID Police ID

2. A secondary identification, which must include your signature, such as:
Credit/Debit card Citizenship card APICS membership card

What may I bring to the exam?
Other than an English-foreign language dictionary and a nonprogrammable calculator, you may not bring any materials into the exam room. Scratch paper is provided.

If I have an unexcused absence from my exam and have not cancelled, why do I forfeit my fee?
The exam space has been reserved for you and is held until cancellation is received. APICS pays the test vendor for all reserved seats, whether or not a candidate takes the exam.

How long will the exam last?
Candidates will have four hours to complete the exam. No breaks are scheduled during any APICS CSCP exam. If you must leave the room during an exam, notify the test centre manager before doing so. Timing will not stop during a break.

How many exam questions are there?
The APICS CSCP exam consists of 175 multi-choice questions (125 operational and 25 pretest). The pretest questions do not contribute to your total score but are necessary for research purposes. These pretest questions are randomly distributed among the scorable items and will be used for statistical purposes only. The pretest items are similar to the scorable items on the test, and candidates will not know which items will be scored and which will not. Candidates should answer all exam questions.

Who can I contact if I have comments about my testing experience?
Candidates who have comments about their testing experience can contact the IOM at apics@iomnet.org.uk. You can also submit comments, test centre complaints or feedback on exam content by writing to:

APICS International Certification
8430 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Suite 1000
