SHRM SHRM-CP : Society for Human Resource Management Certified Professional

The SHRM-CP exam is the official Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) exam behind the SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) certification, validating the skills measured by the SHRM Society for Human Resource Management Certified Professional credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) certification program. It also connects to SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The SHRM-CP exam contains 160 scored questions + 20 pretest questions (180 total) questions to be completed within 240 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the VCETorrent test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the SHRM-CP exam is Scaled score 200 (on a 200–700 scale), and the official registration fee is USD 495 (SHRM members), USD 595 (non-members). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 450 practice questions on VCETorrent, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Eligibility is based on HR-related education and/or professional HR experience; no formal prerequisite exam is required. Requirements can change when Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
