HRCI - About Us: Certified Mail e-newsletter: Spring 2007

HRCI will soon be offering two online assessment exams to help PHR/SPHR certification candidates determine their exam readiness. With two exams available, candidates will be able to assess their needs at various points in their preparation. Candidates might use different exams as—

benchmarks to determine which level of exam to take;
baselines or pretests to determine their needs in a study program;
post-tests to demonstrate improved knowledge after a study program;
a “final” exam prior to taking the actual exam.

Both exams have 75 questions (actual retired test items) and are timed, so candidates have a realistic preview of what they will encounter on the test.

HRCI plans to launch the second assessment exam in late April.

Encourage your noncertified colleagues to use the assessments, which can be found through the “Assessment Exam” tab on the HRCI.org homepage.
