You don’t want to pay another $375 to sit it again. ## Common questions about the CIPM exam ### How close are these questions to the CIPM exam? Close in difficulty: they are written at the level of the CIPM exam and to its official topics, so you are not practising on questions easier or harder than the ones you will sit. They are not questions taken from the exam, and each one comes with an explanation. ### How many CIPM practice questions are free? 30 of the 347. The first 5 need no signup; a free account unlocks the rest. ### How many questions are on the CIPM exam, and how long is it? 90 questions in 150 minutes of testing time: 75 scored and 15 unscored. Some are scenario-based, and some are multi-select with no partial credit. The exam is split into two halves with an optional 15-minute break between them, and you cannot go back once the first half is submitted. ### What is the CIPM passing score? 300, on a scale of 100 to 500. IAPP converts your number of correct answers to that scale and states that 300 does not represent 60%. There is no minimum score per section. ### How much does the CIPM exam cost? $550, the same for IAPP members and non-members. A retake costs $375, as does a first attempt if you already hold another IAPP certification. ### Are there any prerequisites for the CIPM? IAPP publishes no education, experience or prior-certification requirement for the CIPM, and the process starts with buying the exam. After you pass, the credential activates once you pay the maintenance fee or hold IAPP membership. ### How many questions come from each CIPM topic? IAPP publishes a range per topic, not a percentage. Under Body of Knowledge v4.2.0, effective 1 September 2025: Privacy Program: Developing a Framework 14–18 questions; Privacy Program: Establishing Program Governance 12–16; Privacy Program Operational Life Cycle: Assessing Data 12–16; Privacy Program Operational Life Cycle: Protecting Personal Data 9–13; Privacy Program Operational Life Cycle: Sustaining Program Performance 7–9; and Privacy Program Operational Life Cycle: Responding to Requests and Incidents 10–14. See the [CIPM study guide](https://certmadeeasy.com/blog/cipm-study-guide/). ### Where do I take the CIPM, and in what language? At a Pearson VUE test centre or online through Pearson VUE OnVUE, in English, French, German, Simplified Chinese or Brazilian Portuguese. You buy the exam from the IAPP store and must sit it within one year of buying it. A retake can be no sooner than 7 days after your last attempt. ### How long does the CIPM certification last? Two years. To renew, you log 20 CPE hours per two-year term, or retest, and either pay the maintenance fee or hold an active IAPP membership. ## Read before you sit it [ ![](https://certmadeeasy.com/blog/cipm-study-guide-cover.png) CIPM Study Guide: How to Pass the IAPP Exam Read ](https://certmadeeasy.com/blog/cipm-study-guide/) ## Related practice exams [![IAPP](https://certmadeeasy.com/logos/iapp-wordmark.svg) CIPT Certified Information Privacy Technologist View](https://certmadeeasy.com/catalog/set-iapp-cipt)[![IAPP](https://certmadeeasy.com/logos/iapp-wordmark.svg) CIPP/A Certified Information Privacy Professional/Asia View ](https://certmadeeasy.com/catalog/set-iapp-cippa)[![IAPP](https://certmadeeasy.com/logos/iapp-wordmark.svg) AIGP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional View ](https://certmadeeasy.com/catalog/set-iapp-aigp)[![IAPP](https://certmadeeasy.com/logos/iapp-wordmark.svg) CIPP/C Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada View](https://certmadeeasy.com/catalog/set-iapp-cippc) ## Start practicing free [Try 30 free questions](https://certmadeeasy.com/try/set-iapp-cipm) No sign up required IAPP certification can cost $925.
