Certification exams consist of 150 questions (130 operational and 20 pretest), and you will have 3.5 hours to complete the exam.
Pretest questions do not contribute to the total score but are necessary for statistical purposes only and are randomly distributed throughout the exam. Candidates should answer all exam questions.
Each exam score range is 200 to 350. Scores 300 points and above are considered passing, and any score 299 points or below is failing.
Exams are graded using a scaled score methodology. This technique ensures equivalent passing standards are maintained from varying difficulties of each exam from one to the next. For more information on our scoring methodology read Understanding a Scaled Score.
Review the APICS Exam Handbook for full details on the exam process and procedures prior to taking the exam. Read the certification FAQs to answer any additional questions you may have about the certification exams and courseware.
