Common Questions About the APICS CPIM-BSCM Exam
What is the APICS CPIM Basics of Supply Chain Management exam all about?
The CPIM-BSCM exam is the official Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) exam behind the CPIM Certification certification, validating the skills measured by the APICS CPIM Basics of Supply Chain Management credential. It sits at the Foundational / Associate level of the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) certification program. It also connects to CPIM Part 1, Certified in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the CPIM-BSCM exam, and how much time do I get?
The CPIM-BSCM exam contains 150 (130 scored + 20 pretest) questions to be completed within 210 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
Are there any prerequisites for the CPIM-BSCM exam?
No formal prerequisites; open to SCM professionals and learners. Requirements can change when Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
