What to Know About the CORe Exam and Our Services

According to the latest exam information, the CORe exam contains 165 questions and runs for 165 minutes minutes. Simulating that exact limit in practice builds the pacing a tough exam demands.

The ISM Supply Management Core blueprint centers on these domains:

  • Sourcing (30%)
  • Category Management (25%)
  • Contract Management (15%)

Further domains complete the official outline — the question bank covers every one.

Clear terms, no runaround. If you fail the corresponding exam within 60 days of purchase, send us a scanned copy of your enrollment slip and your official Score Report PDF within two days of the exam date; verified claims are refunded in full within seven days. Exclusions: exams taken within three days of purchase, candidate names that do not match the payer, and free or expired products. Prefer to switch tracks? Exchange your product for two others of equal value at no cost.

A team of IT experts and certified trainers with rich experience in the ISM Supply Management Core field writes it — and keeps it honest. Every answer is expert-verified, the content is checked continuously for updates, and each new CORe version is emailed to you free for 365 days. Compared with training institutions, the bank is affordable and self-paced; compared with guesswork, it is systematic. Download the free demo first, and if anything goes wrong — even a simple downloading problem — 24/7 customer assistance is one message away.

ISM states the following prerequisites for the ISM Supply Management Core: Candidates must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college/university (or international equivalent) and 3 years of full-time, professional supply management experience (non-clerical, non-support). OR Candidates without a bachelor's degree must have 5 years of full-time, professional supply management experience..

Confirm the current requirements on the official certification page before you register.

Currently, the CORe exam requires a passing score of 400 (on a scale of 200-800), with a registration fee of USD 399 (ISM Members), USD 499 (Non-Members). ISM sets both figures, so verify the latest on the official site before scheduling.

Upon successful payment, our system automatically sends the product to your mailbox — typically within about a minute — with an instant download link on screen. If nothing arrives within two hours, check your spam folder and contact our 24/7 customer assistance. Updates are free for 365 days: the moment a new version releases, the latest bank is sent to your email immediately, no matter when you purchased. A 50% renewal discount applies when the period ends.
