CMP Examination Overview

The examination is composed of 150 multiple choice questions based on the CMP^® Blueprint and are selected from the CMP^® "Item Bank." Each examination offered is made up of a different selection from the bank of questions. All CMP^® examination questions are written by and reviewed on a regular basis by current CMPs at the annual CMP^® Conclave.

The CMP^® examination contains questions covering the variety of functions a meeting planner must perform based on the CMP^® Blueprint.

The knowledge base is categorized into 5 domain areas, 49 tasks and 230 knowledge topics. The five domains identify major content areas which compose the exam, with an indication (percentage in parenthesis next to each domain and range of questions next to each task) of the amount of the exam that will be devoted to that domain.
