Professional in Human Resources: PHR Exam Premium File as PDF & Test Engine

The PHR exam, officially titled Professional in Human Resources, is the qualifying test for the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification from HRCI, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHR), Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR), Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR).

The HRCI Professional in Human Resources exam gives you 120 minutes to work through Approx. 90 scored questions + 25 pretest questions (total ~115) questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Fast2test test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need Scaled score of 500 (on a 100-700 scale) to pass, and the official registration fee is USD $395 exam fee (plus additional application/administrative fees may apply). Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the Fast2test practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

Recommended: HR experience or HR-related education; eligibility varies depending on education level and experience combination Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: HRCI PHR exam overview.
