Dear Friend,
On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young woman received the devastating news. She had just gotten back her result on the CPIM test. It was not what she had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to the expectations she had considering her past experience and educational background.
She had failed.
Then she remembered her friends and felt even worse. She did not look forward to having to tell them the embarrassing news, especially after she had boasted that it was no big deal. She had been procrastinating about taking the exam because she hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed her hatred.
"What will I do now?" she thought with dismay, slowly realizing the harsh reality of her predicament and its upsetting implications on her future.
How to Solve the Problem
Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone thought they were going to breeze through the examination, told all their friends, made plans for their future, and then got an embarrassing reality check from the CPIM test.
The Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Exam is quite simply an objective assessment of a test taker's requisite foundation of knowledge and skills.
CPIM test scores are used by the APICS The Association for Operations Management as a uniform standard of qualification. While it may not be fair, all of a person's plans for the future may be dependent upon needing a certain CPIM test score.
That is the whole purpose of the Secrets of the CPIM Exam study guide: to give test takers the keys to understand how to succeed on the CPIM test.
Our CPIM Test Study Guide Is Unlike Any Other
If you'd like to get the CPIM test score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your score on the CPIM test is good enough, and to beat the test taking game so you can become a Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) professional, then this might be the most important message you read this year.
Our comprehensive study guide for the CPIM test is written by our test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to do your best on the CPIM test. Our original research into the Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Exam, offered by the APICS The Association for Operations Management, reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the CPIM test. We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the CPIM test.
The Exclusive Test Taking Techniques

- Why answers that sound correct are often the very ones that are wrong and how to tell the difference between the right answer and the many clever-sounding traps set for you by the test writers.
- Our benchmark method for deciding which of the answer choices you should pick.
- What to do about the tough questions that you have no clue how to answer. Don't just give up, use the advice we offer to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting the right answer.

Chris G.
"I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!!"
Brian
"Just dropping you a note to let you know that I am completely satisfied with the product. I had already taken the test once and landed in the 75 percentile of those taking it with me. I took the test a second time and used some of your tips and raised my score to the 97 percentile. Thanks for my much improved score."
Denise W.
"I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you!"
