Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the CRCM exam?
ABA states that the CRCM exam contains 200 multiple-choice questions and allows a maximum 4-hour testing window. Calculators are provided, and most candidates receive an immediate pass/fail outcome at the test site or through remote delivery.
What score do I need to pass the CRCM exam?
ABA certification exams use a scaled score from 200 to 800, and the passing score is 500. The score is based on the total number of items answered correctly and then converted to the reporting scale.
What changed for the CRCM exam in 2026?
For June 2026 and later windows, ABA adopted a revised CRCM content outline organized into three domains: Core Compliance, Foundational Compliance, and Compliance Management System. Candidates preparing for June 2026 or beyond should use the updated outline rather than the older pre-2026 domain structure.
What topics are tested most heavily on the CRCM exam?
The heaviest weighting is Core Compliance at 37%, which focuses on major role-critical regulations such as Regulation E, Regulation Z, Regulation B, CRA, HMDA, flood, UDAP/UDAAP, and BSA/OFAC. Foundational Compliance is also 37% overall, split between 23% primary rules and 14% ancillary rules, while the remaining 26% covers compliance management system design and execution.
What are the CRCM eligibility requirements?
ABA requires U.S.-based compliance experience tied directly to the CRCM outline. Candidates qualify either through at least 3 years of eligible U.S. compliance experience plus two approved training options completed within the last 5 years, or through at least 6 years of eligible U.S. compliance experience within the last 10 years, with 3 of those years within the last 5 years.
How much does the CRCM exam cost, and can I test remotely?
ABA currently lists the CRCM exam fee at $815 and the retake fee at $500. Approved candidates may test at Meazure Learning U.S. test sites or through live remote proctoring on the ProctorU platform if they meet the technical requirements.
What is the CRCM retake policy?
ABA allows retakes, but the next attempt must be in an exam window that starts at least 90 days after the start of the prior exam window. ABA also states that you must pass within 3 years of your first exam attempt or submit a new application and full fee.
