Where other sources differ

  • The exam has two separately timed 110-minute sections. You cannot return to a completed section, and unused time does not carry over.
  • Practice scores are percentages for learning; they do not convert to the SHRM scaled score.
  • Unit question counts are approximate practice allocations based on scored-content weights, not fixed official counts. These supplementary practice sessions do not reproduce the real section locks or unscored field-test items.
  • Candidates in designated Arabic-speaking countries are assigned the Arabic form; taking the English version requires a written request to SHRM.

How to register

Study material sample: Leadership

Summary

Senior HR leadership sets enterprise direction, secures accountable execution and maintains ethical governance under pressure. Evaluate the decision against the organization’s objectives and the facts supplied.

What the exam focuses on

  • Distinguish a strategic choice from an operational task: senior leaders select priorities, define decision rights and monitor outcomes across the organization.
  • Identify what has already been established. An investigation, a decision and an implementation problem require different next actions.

Common traps

  • Do not delay urgent protection while seeking complete information. Conversely, avoid irreversible enterprise action when a critical assumption remains untested.
  • Executive agreement does not override ethical controls or applicable legal duties. Consult the appropriate independent governance body when senior leaders have conflicts.
  • A workforce demographic target alone does not establish inclusion or fair access. Examine opportunity, participation and outcomes in the relevant process.
