CDMS EXAM PRACTICE ITEMS
The Commission has created a practice item review to help you prepare and study for the CDMS® exam. The practice items utilize actual CDMS exam questions that are now retired to provide exam item practice.
Designed to assess a candidate's readiness to take the CDMS certification examination, the practice items are available in one form and contains 54 multiple-choice questions covering the content areas of the CDMS certification examination. From the date of purchase, the practice items are accessible for 30 days.
Click below to purchase 30 consecutive days of access of the practice items. If this is your first time using the CMLearning Network, you will be prompted to create an account.
Please note that you will have unlimited 30-days access upon purchasing the practice items.
After you complete your purchase, you will have access to the practice items immediately.
Once you submit your answers at the end, the system will let you know which questions were incorrect and will give you the correct answer. You may retake the practice items as many times as you would like.
You can log back in and visit this page to re-access this anytime within the 30-day limit. When you re-access the items, you will receive the same 54 exam questions, but they will be randomized and shown in a different numerical order.
This practice exam is based on a 70% pass rate and not reflective of the actual CDMS® exam pass rate is based on a scaled scoring system, which means the pass rate is defined as the percentage of people who pass the exam each time it is administered. This rate varies with each administration as well as for first-time exam candidates vs. retake candidates.
REFUND POLICY: There will be no refunds given after you have purchased this.

Core Knowledge Curriculum (CKC) & ADMS Designation
The CKC is the first comprehensive online learning program focused solely on disability management and leaves of absence in the workplace.
History
As the gap in disability management learning resources was identified, and investigation into the possibility of offering a curriculum for current and prospective practitioners was begun. That process led to the development of the CDMC Core Knowledge Curriculum or CKC for short.
A case-based curriculum designed for an online delivery platform was developed from the collaboration between CDMS leadership, industry leaders, and subject matter experts picked for their experience and expertise. The goal was to create a resource for colleagues and the future of the profession.
In 2022, the Commission brought together another group of subject matter experts to review and revise the content of the CKC to ensure its relevance and currency in today’s environment for disability management specialists.
Although we do not endorse any study materials or preparation courses, Commission leadership continue to realize a need to provide disability management professionals with educational material to deepen their understanding of the field.
Pathway to ADMS Designation
The CDMS CKC opens the door to disability management professionals who do not meet the eligibility criteria for CDMS certification. It paves the way for achieving ADMS designation.
Those applying for CDMS certification may find the CKC a useful supplement in their preparation for the exam.
