This series of practice tests is designed for those people who have already studied Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply subject L5M5 'Managing Ethical Procurement and Supply', and who wish to test their knowledge and readiness prior to taking the CIPS assessment itself.

This is a core (mandatory) subject within the CIPS Advanced Diploma education scheme, and builds on the earlier L4 Diploma series of subjects, which includes learning about ethical aspects of procurement and supply chain management. The material here also fits well with CIPS' own online annual ethical test which is mandatory for Chartered CIPS members, like myself.

The series of tests included here are based entirely on the learning outcomes / assessment criteria published by the Institute, and which appear at the beginning of your student textbooks. Whether you are using the official CIPS study guide, or the alternative Profex study text, you may test yourself here. These questions have been developed using both of these textbooks as reference points, as well as other relevant material.

Students who have prepared well for their assessment will benefit from these tests, which may be taken as often as you wish, to improve your performance as necessary. These tests carry a pass mark of 70% reflecting the actual exam, so you can measure yourself against a standard, and enter your CIPS exam with confidence.
