Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CLTD exam pass rate?
The CLTD exam has an estimated first-time pass rate of 60-65%. ASCM does not publish official pass rates. The exam uses 150 questions (130 scored, 20 pretest) in 3.5 hours. It uses scaled scoring from 200-350, with 300 required to pass.
How hard is the CLTD exam?
The CLTD exam is considered moderately challenging, comparable to other ASCM certifications like CPIM and CSCP. It requires broad knowledge across logistics, transportation, warehouse management, and global trade. The exam tests both knowledge recall and application through scenario-based questions. Most successful candidates study 100-150 hours over 2-3 months.
What are the CLTD exam requirements?
There are no formal prerequisites for the CLTD exam, though 2+ years of logistics or supply chain experience is recommended. Candidates must pass the exam within 3 years of starting the ASCM Learning System. The certification requires 75 maintenance points every 5 years for recertification.
What are Incoterms and how are they tested on CLTD?
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are standardized trade terms that define buyer and seller responsibilities in international transactions. Key terms include EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP. The exam tests understanding of when risk transfers, who arranges transportation, and who pays for specific costs. This is a heavily tested topic in the Global Logistics module.
How does CLTD compare to CPIM and CSCP?
CLTD focuses specifically on logistics, transportation, and distribution — the movement and storage of goods. CPIM focuses on production and inventory planning within operations. CSCP covers end-to-end supply chain strategy. CLTD is ideal for professionals in logistics operations, transportation management, warehousing, and distribution. Many professionals earn CLTD to complement CPIM or CSCP credentials.
What transportation topics should I focus on for CLTD?
Transportation Management (15% of exam) covers modes (truck, rail, air, water), carrier selection criteria, freight classification (NMFC), transportation costs, intermodal, routing optimization, TMS functionality, and carrier relationships. Understand the trade-offs between modes in terms of cost, speed, reliability, and capacity.
