Candidates for the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams will have 4 hours to answer a total of 160 questions, of which approximately 95 are stand-alone knowledge items and 65 will be situational judgment items.
How does the exam test HR Competencies? Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) measure Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Other characteristics (KSAOs) and decision-making skills that cannot be easily measured by other aptitude tests (e.g., numerical, abstract or verbal). SJTs describe a work-related scenario that the test-taker might experience on the job and for each scenario, a variety of behavioral-based approaches to resolving the issue are suggested. Test-takers are asked to identify the most appropriate approach to resolving or addressing the scenario. Several questions may be based on the same scenario. SHRM has partnered with a premier test development organization with deep expertise in the design of situational judgment-based exams.
