The CPCM exam, officially titled Certified Professional Contracts Manager, is the NCMA exam you pass to earn the Certified Professional Contract Manager certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as Certified Federal Contract Manager (CFCM), Certified Commercial Contract Manager (CCCM), Certified Contract Management Associate (CCMA).

The CPCM exam includes 180 (170 scored, 10 beta) questions and gives you 240 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the CPCM exam is 72.2%, and the official registration fee is $135 (US & Canada), $160 (International). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $135 (US & Canada), $160 (International) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.

NCMA lists the following prerequisites or eligibility notes for the CPCM exam: Bachelor's degree; 5 years contract management experience; 120 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE/CLP). Requirements can change over time, so confirm the details on the official exam page at NCMA's official site before you register.
