Green once you're above 80% on a domain. Red below 60% — that's where the next session goes.
Start anywhere — nothing attempted yet.
All 120 must be banked before you submit the application. Once approved, you get one year and three attempts.

Pulls a fresh random set every time, weighted to the official NCMA exam blueprint: Management, Guiding Principles, Pre-Award, Award, and Post-Award ~18% each, Foundations (CM Framework + CMBOK Overview) ~7%, Leadership ~6%, Learn ~4%.
A deficiency clears when you answer it correctly. Miss it again and it stays open. Tag each miss with why you missed it — the pattern tells you whether to study content or fix test-taking mechanics.
The full CPCM curriculum — all seven competencies, the framework, protests, financing, commercial law, and the cross-cutting statutes. Jump to a section, or read straight through.
Read aloud using your device's own text-to-speech — works on phone or laptop, no download, no app. Pick a lesson, hit play, listen while you drive or do dishes. Pace is adjustable. Note: on iPhone, keep the screen on — iOS pauses built-in speech when the screen locks. The Federal Statutes lesson is cross-cutting bonus material — that content appears inside other sections on the real exam, not as its own graded section.

Your 81 hours are seeded as a single baseline row. Replace it with itemized entries as you dig up the certificates — NCMA audits a percentage of applications, and reconstructing documentation later is painful.
Conversion: 1 CEU or CPU = 10 CPE. 1 CLE, CLP, or PDU = 1 CPE.
The exam may be taken at a Kryterion center or online. Recertification runs on a five-year cycle and now requires 100 CPE for cycles ending 2026 onward — worth knowing before you're standing on the other side of it.
| Section | Questions | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Management | 30–35 | ~18% |
| Guiding Principles | 30–35 | ~18% |
| Pre-Award | 30–35 | ~18% |
| Award | 30–35 | ~18% |
| Post-Award | 30–35 | ~18% |
| Leadership | 8–12 | ~6% |
| Learn | 6–10 | ~4% |
| CM Framework | 5–8 | ~4% |
| CMBOK Overview | 5–8 | ~4% |
All scored questions are weighted equally. Five sections carry ~90% of the exam at roughly equal weight — study time should follow the same shape. The mock exam here draws to these proportions (CM Framework and CMBOK Overview are combined under Foundations).
