Here at Next Level Purchasing today, we launched a new approach to administering the SPSM^® Exam that will serve to further strengthen the SPSM^® Certification’s already strong reputation as a challenging measurement of purchasing proficiency.

Internationally, a standard practice for certification providers is to have multiple versions of certification exams in order to maintain the integrity of the testing process. Since Day 1 of the SPSM^® Exam, we had that.

But today we implemented some new programming that randomizes the order of the questions on each version of the SPSM^® Exam. Therefore, no two exams will realistically ever have the same combination of questions in the same order.

This is consistent with our founding philosophy with the SPSM^® Certification: to give employers the assurance that those who have earned the SPSM^® are truly the “cream of the crop” – professionals who have truly earned their certification without taking any shortcuts or receiving any special accommodations. Employers value SPSM’s and SPSM’s benefit from that fact.
