I found out I passed instantaneously - I knew my test result seconds after I hit submit on my exam. Once I left the testing room and approached the desk to check out, I was handed a printout of my exam score breakdown. This breakdown covered each area of the exam and explained how I did in each specific area. I hope this helps!!

Yes, anyone can take the SHRM-CP! From the SHRM website: "Candidates for the SHRM-CP certification are not required to hold an HR title and do not need a degree or previous HR experience to apply; however, a basic working knowledge of HR practices and principles or a degree from an Academically Aligned program is recommended." More information can be found at www.shrm.org/credentials/certification/eligibility-criteria. I hope this helps!!

Completely here where you're coming from!! I was super nervous too as my exam date inched closer and closer, but starting my studying early, having (and sticking to) a study plan and relying on my support system helped a ton!

Please make an short video on all 9 competencies and then others

Thank you!! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help and support you through your journey!!

Yes!! Any study tips you found successful you'd recommend to others?

THANK YOU!! I was able to pay for the SHRM learning system through my employer. My company covered the cost 100%, and I owed nothing out of pocket. However, I used a number of free materials as well - Quizlet is my personal favorite! I really enjoy the flashcards and practice quizzes available when you make a free account. There are limited capabilities available on Quizlet without an account, but I've found it much more helpful with one. Best of luck! Let me know if you have any more questions 💙

@@ShirleySHRM If you don't mind, could you send me the resourses?

Quizlet (www.quizlet.com) has a variety of free quizzes and tests that are created by independent creators. You can type anything into the search bar, from biology to SHRM content, and quizzes and flash cards will be shared that are relevant to whatever you are learning about. I used quizzes from a number of Quizlet creators throughout my studying! The SHRM learning system can be found at www.shrm.org/credentials/certification/exam-preparation/shrm-learning-system. It is EXPENSIVE, but if you think it would be valuable to you, I would recommend it. If my employer was not covering the cost for me, I'm unsure if I would have purchased it on my own, especially since there are a variety of other options available that also have SHRM style questions from previous years for less money.

Thank you!! I used the HRCI learning system they have specifically for the PHR. It was about $449 for non-HRCI members, and they offered a discount for HRCI members. I was able to submit the cost of the exam prep system and the cost of the exam itself for reimbursement, so if you're considering purchasing a learning system, I highly recommend checking to see if you can be reimbursed. Thank you again for the kind words!!

Yes! My boss actually has her SHRM-CP, and she was the one I was looking to the most for guidance about next steps in my career. I'm studying now for the PHR exam though, and I'm taking it at the end of the month!

Yes!! Some companies cover the cost of the test (or reimburse you if you send your receipt over to payroll), some give you a bonus or a pay bump after you pass, some do both. It is a good chunk of money, so even if it's not posted anywhere or being talked about, it is absolutely worth asking your boss, payroll department or learning and development team about!!

Right?! I was in such a rush to answer, and I was almost completely sure I had failed the exam so badly. I was SO RELIEVED when the little "PASSED" appeared on the next screen 😭

Thank youuuuu!!

Thank you so much!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed!
