What You Need To Know Before Taking the Assessment Exam

You may take the assessment exam at anytime, anyplace, using a computer that can connect to the Internet using Microsoft Internet Explorer. The assessment exam will not run on Netscape Navigator.

FOR THE GPHR ASSESSMENT EXAM

  • The exam fee is US$35, payable only by credit card.
  • You may take the exam as many times as you like; however, you will be charged the full assessment exam fee each time you register for an exam.
  • The 50 questions will remain the same each time you take the exam.
  • You will have the choice of 60- or 90-minute time allotment for each exam. The exam clock compensates for slow modems or busy web periods.
  • You will receive your overall score at the end of the exam. Answers to the exam questions are not provided.

A passing or failing score on the assessment exam does not guarantee a similar outcome on the actual exam. It can, however, be a good indication of your preparedness.

FOR THE PHR/SPHR ASSESSMENT EXAMS

After registering for your first exam, please allow at least 24 hours before accessing the second exam. You will have a maximum period of six months to complete the second exam.
  • You will receive your overall score at the end of the exam. Answers to the exam questions are not provided.
