Frequently Asked Questions

What is the passing score for the CIS-SRM exam, and how many questions are there?

The exam contains 31 questions, and the passing score is typically around 70-75%, though ServiceNow does not publish an exact threshold. You will have 60 minutes to complete the exam. Questions are multiple-choice and multiple-select, with some scenario-based items.

Do I need to complete any prerequisites before taking the CIS-SRM exam?

ServiceNow recommends that candidates have completed the Supplier Risk and Performance Management Implementation training course and have at least six months of hands-on experience with the SRM application. While there is no mandatory prerequisite exam, familiarity with ServiceNow fundamentals (e.g., CIS - ITSM or CSA) is strongly advised.

What are the most common mistakes test-takers make on this exam?

The most common mistakes include confusing the configuration of supplier assessments with performance scorecards, misunderstanding how risk indicators are inherited from supplier records, and overlooking the role of the Supplier Information Portal in the assessment process. Candidates also sometimes forget that Performance Analytics must be enabled for scorecard metrics to display correctly.

How should I prepare for the Performance Management domain?

Focus on understanding how KPIs are defined, how they map to scorecard categories, and how scorecard weights affect overall supplier scores. Practice creating a scorecard from scratch, adding manual and calculated KPIs, and configuring target values. Also, learn how Performance Analytics indicators are used to visualize scorecard data over time.

Are there any specific ServiceNow tables or modules I should study in depth?

Yes. Pay close attention to the sn_srm_supplier_assessment table, the sn_srm_scorecard table, and the sn_srm_risk_indicator table. Understand how these tables relate to the core Supplier table (core_company). Also study the Assessment Designer module, the Scorecard Designer module, and the Supplier Information Portal configuration options.
