SHRM-SCP® Exam Strategy Lab
Set yourself up for success as you advance your HR career.
Ready to sharpen your approach for the SHRM-SCP exam? The SHRM-SCP Exam Strategy Lab is specifically designed to help you effectively respond to exam items that test your proficiency in the advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities required for strategic-level HR responsibilities, which are the core focus of the exam. Rather than covering the full scope of the SHRM Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge® (SHRM BASK®), this lab pairs with the SHRM Learning System and zeroes in on targeted exam strategies to enhance your readiness and maximize the effectiveness of your overall preparation.
Throughout this interactive course, you will engage in both individual and group activities focused on the two multiple-choice question formats featured on the exam. These exercises help you build your ability to recall key concepts and deploy proven response techniques, leveraging your understanding of the SHRM BASK® and the strategic competencies assessed.
By the end of this program, you will leave with a personalized study plan tailored to your learning style and timeline, ensuring you are exam-ready and confident in your approach.

"SHRM does their best to set you up for success! There are so many resources and the instructor was excellent! The instructor gave us so many great tips for succeeding on the exam and had an interactive style of teaching that kept us engaged and thinking throughout the class.
Throughout the class the instructor reflected on our pretest scores to help us identify where she needed to focus her time [during the seminar]. The pretest also helped me identify where I need to spend time studying independently.
I feel infinitely more confident in the probability of succeeding on the SHRM-SCP exam and sincerely enjoyed my 3 days of learning with the teacher!"
