The CIPS Measuring Performance in Purchasing and Supply exam (exam code A10) is the official CIPS exam that leads to the CIPS Level 2 Certificate in Procurement and Supply Operations certification, sitting at the Level 2 / Associate level of the CIPS certification track. It is also connected with CIPS Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Procurement and Supply Operations, CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply. If this is the credential you are working toward, the 58 practice questions at Lead2Passed map directly to its objectives.

The CIPS Measuring Performance in Purchasing and Supply exam includes 60 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete them. Divide the time limit by the question count and you get a tight average pace per item, so train yourself to flag time-consuming questions and return to them later instead of getting stuck. Before test day, run at least one full timed session in the Lead2Passed test engine under the same limits — the clock should never surprise you.

The passing score for CIPS Measuring Performance in Purchasing and Supply is 70% (Objective Response), and the official registration fee is GBP £115 - £175 / USD $145 - $220 (varies by region & membership). A failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so your preparation budget deserves the same attention as your study plan. A practical rule: book your exam date only after you can finish a Lead2Passed practice test comfortably above the passing score more than once.
