I passed the SHRM-CP last year! I bought the SHRM learning system & took Victoria’s boot camp which was very helpful. Victoria’s boot camp broke everything that would be on the test down. The learning system was good for practice on the situational questions!

Super excited for you. The best advice I can give is that the test is heavy on how you use your knowledge to make good choices in situations. Focus on the "why" behind policies/laws/ect and not just the facts and dates.

Following. I’m scheduled to test on 02/12

I earned my pass for the SHRM-CP this past Friday. The test wasnt hard but it’s harder than the PHR (Sept 2020). Its more than you just having the knowledge of HR it also focuses on your ability to apply said knowledge. The exam is 60% knowledge and 40% situational judgement. The situation judgment questions were tricky 😩. Take as many practice test, if you can, to get a feel on how the questions are presented.
