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%.
