ACRP CPI Practice Test and Exam Guide: Six Weighted Areas

The ACRP Certified Principal Investigator (CPI) exam has 125 questions (100 scored and 25 pretest), runs for 180 minutes and reports a scaled score, with 600 on a 200-800 scale needed to pass. It tests six areas of clinical research, led by ethical and safety considerations at 22% of the weighting.

The exam is built for people who have already led or co-led studies, so preparation is mostly about judgment, not memory. To see where you stand before you pay ACRP, take the CPI practice test first and use that result as your starting point.
