<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/span>Registration<\/h2>\nEligible candidates apply for and purchase the CMRP exam through the American Hospital Association Certification Center. After your application is approved, you will receive an Authorization to Test (ATT) email with instructions for scheduling your exam with PSI through the AHA Certification Portal.<\/p>\n
The CMRP exam can be taken in either of the following ways:<\/p>\n
\n- At an approved PSI testing center<\/li>\n
- Online through PSI live-remote proctoring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you choose live-remote proctoring, you must complete PSI's system compatibility check to make sure your computer supports the remote-proctoring software.<\/p>\n
Your exam eligibility is valid for 90 days. You must schedule and take the CMRP exam within that 90-day window or you will forfeit your application and examination fee.<\/p>\n
Testing-center appointments are generally available Monday through Saturday, except for some holidays. Available appointment times vary by location and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n
The current CMRP examination fee is $425, with a discount available for AHRMM members. Eligible veterans may be able to receive reimbursement for the examination fee.<\/p>\n
If you need to change your appointment, you can reschedule through the AHA Certification Portal at least two business days before your scheduled exam. Your new examination date must still fall within your original 90-day eligibility window. You can also switch between a PSI testing center and live-remote proctoring at least two business days before your scheduled appointment.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\nIf you are testing at a PSI testing center, arrive about 30 minutes before your scheduled testing time. Candidates taking the exam through live-remote proctoring should log in no later than their scheduled testing time. Remote check-in generally takes 10\u201315 minutes and can begin up to 15 minutes before the appointment.<\/p>\n
Candidates who arrive more than 15 minutes after their scheduled testing time will not be admitted. If you miss your appointment without rescheduling at least two business days in advance, you will forfeit your examination fee.<\/p>\n
You will need two forms of identification to take the exam. Your primary ID must be current and government-issued and must include your name, signature, and photograph. Examples include a driver's license, state identification card, passport, or military identification card. Your secondary ID must include your name and signature. Temporary identification is not accepted.<\/p>\n
If the name on your registration differs from the name on your identification, you will need documentation of the name change.<\/p>\n
Some CMRP questions require calculations. A silent, nonprogrammable calculator without paper-tape printing capability or an alpha keypad is permitted. Calculators used at a testing center are checked to ensure they meet these requirements.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\nAlthough the CMRP exam contains 110 questions, only 100 questions count toward your score. The other 10 are unscored pretest questions and do not affect whether you pass or fail.<\/p>\n
PSI issues score reports on behalf of the AHA-CC. Your score report indicates whether you passed or failed and also provides your raw score in each of the five major content areas. A raw score is simply the number of scored questions you answered correctly.<\/p>\n
The passing standard is established using the Angoff method. Subject-matter experts estimate how likely a qualified candidate is to answer each scored question correctly, and those judgments are used to establish the initial minimum passing standard.<\/p>\n
Different versions of the CMRP exam may vary slightly in difficulty. AHA-CC uses a statistical process called equating to account for those differences so that candidates taking different exam forms are held to an equivalent standard. This means there is not necessarily one universal number of correct answers that applies to every version of the exam.<\/p>\n
Candidates taking a computer-based exam receive their score report on-screen and electronically. Candidates taking a paper-and-pencil special administration generally receive their score report by mail several weeks after the exam.<\/p>\n
After you pass the exam, the AHA-CC issues your official CMRP certification materials separately.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
