What Does Your Score Mean?

These 12 questions come directly from the CFTPM certification exam and cover four areas of the certification, with an easy, intermediate, and difficult question from each.

100–120 Points — Strong CFTPM Readiness

You demonstrated strong, broad payments knowledge across multiple areas of the CFTPM curriculum.

Your next step: You may already have much of the knowledge needed to succeed in the certification. The CFTPM training can help you fill remaining gaps, reinforce what you know, and prepare for the full certification exam.

70–90 Points — Good Foundation, But Some Knowledge Gaps

You have a solid understanding of payments, but your results suggest there are areas where your knowledge is less complete.

Your next step: Work through the CFTPM training, paying particular attention to the areas you missed. The certification is designed to help you connect knowledge across the payments ecosystem—not just the areas you work with every day.

40–60 Points — You Know Part of Payments, But Not the Whole Picture

You likely understand the areas of payments you work with regularly, but the quiz suggests you have meaningful gaps across the broader payments ecosystem.

Your next step: Complete the CFTPM training before attempting the certification exam. Focus on building a stronger understanding of how the different parts of payments connect across functions and partners.

0–30 Points — Build Your Payments Foundation First

Your results suggest you would benefit from a stronger foundation across the core areas covered by the CFTPM.

Your next step: Complete the CFTPM training from beginning to end before taking the certification exam. Focus on understanding the relationships between the different players, processes, risks, economics, and compliance responsibilities within payments.

This 12-question quiz tests only a small portion of the knowledge covered by the CFTPM certification.
