CBM Exam Registration

 

To complete the CBM Exam Registration process, the following documentation is required:

 

* CBM Exam Application (click here to view the application)
* Current Resume/CV Official
* Copy of Undergraduate/Graduate Degree or Transcripts
* Applicable CBM Exam Fee Payment

All non-English degrees/transcripts must be translated into English by a reputable organization. We use the above documentation to verify its authenticity and to determine a candidate’s eligibility to take the CBM Exam (click here to view the eligibility requirements). If the documentation is deemed unauthentic, the candidate is barred from taking the exam due to violation of APBM’s Code of Professional Ethics.

Each part of the CBM Exam costs US$360 for APBM Members and US$400 for non-members. Members who register for all four parts at once pay US$1,400, thereby saving $200. Non-members do not receive any discount for registering all four parts at once.

 

The CBM Exams are held at Pearson VUE Testing Centers worldwide. Pearson VUE is a leading provider of computer-based testing and assessment services. The CBM Exams are held six times a year in the following testing windows:

APBM recommends that you take one exam part per testing window in the sequence indicated below due to time required to study the voluminous amount of preparation materials. If you are confident of taking more than one exam part per testing window, please do so at your discretion.

 

APBM’s recommended exam sequence is as follows:

 

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4
OR
Part 2 - Part 1 - Part 3 - Part 4
