The USM Foundation exam consists of 40 multiple choice questions and is taken online, within 1 hour.
- Participants are successful if they have answered at least 26 questions correctly.
- An elevated score is required for the USM Professional track: USM professionals need to score at least 30 out of 40 to pass.
USM exams are taken by APMG.
A USM training is not mandatory but highly recommended: for most candidates, the new thinking of USM requires some serious 're-thinking'.
