Exam Methodology

The exam includes 75 multiple-choice and true/false questions covering each of the 35 topics listed below. The exam is time-limited to 20 minutes, so you will not have an opportunity to use a search engine. A passing grade of 70% is required to receive your certification. If you fail the exam, you will have one retake. After that, you can pay to take the exam again. You will not be certified until you have successfully passed the exam.

Once you've paid your exam fee, there is no time limit imposed on when you must take your exam. Feel free to wait as long as you like after paying until you're ready to take the exam without fear of any penalty. However, once you begin the exam you will only have 20 minutes to answer all 75 questions.

Studying for the CEP exam is easy. The 35 topics are covered extensively online making it easy to learn the knowledge required for certification. A CEP Study Guide is available to assist your review. You can also purchase the CEP Prep Book.
