Rationale
Strategic HR Management involves linking HR functions directly to the overall corporate strategy. Operational and Administrative HR focus on day-to-day tasks rather than long-term strategic alignment.
Leadership and Strategy accounts for 40% of the SPHR, which has 115 questions total. HRCI publishes the official exam content outline with the most current weighting. The C3RT app covers all 5 SPHR content areas.
The SPHR has 5 content areas across 115 questions in 2.75 hours, with a passing score of 500/700. Leadership and Strategy is content area 1 of 5 and carries 40% of the total exam weight. The other content areas are Talent Planning and Acquisition, Learning and Development, Total Rewards, Employee Relations and Engagement.
Targeted practice by content area is the most effective approach. The C3RT Professional Cert Exam Prep: SHRM, LEED, PMI & Six Sigma app for iOS and Mac tags every practice question by content area, so you can isolate Leadership and Strategy questions, track your accuracy, and focus study time on your weak spots. Combine focused practice sets with full-length timed mock exams as your test date approaches.
