Changes to the CFCM Exam
Effective September 1, 2021
The NCMA Certification Oversight Body has approved the following changes to the CFCM exam, effective September 1, 2021:
- Updated questions-to-FAR Part ratios (table below), and
- There will be 10 unscored beta questions.
The
ratios were changed due to the results of a recent job task analysis
survey, and including 10 unscored beta questions is a best practice to
determine their performance before they are activated.
Please note, the exam will remain at 150 questions and the pass score will remain at 70%.
