SHRM does its best to match students who take SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP Exam Certification Programs through its Education Partners with those students who actually sit for the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP exams. However, not all students sit for the actual exam or in the corresponding testing window. During the Spring 2022 testing window, the national pass rate for SHRM-CP was 65% and 46% for the SHRM-SCP. During this testing window, UCF's SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP pass rates were 85%!
