Secrets of the CPIM Exam Study Guide
"How to Ace the Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Exam, using our easy step-by-step CPIM Test study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying..."
Dear Friend,
On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young man received some devastating news. He had just gotten back his CPIM test result. It was not what he had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to his expectations despite his past experience and educational background.
He had failed.
Then he remembered his friends and felt even worse. He did not look forward to having to tell them his embarrassing news, especially after he had boasted that it was no big deal. He had been procrastinating about taking the exam because he hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed his hatred.
"What will I do now?" he thought with dismay, slowly realizing the harsh reality of his predicament and its upsetting implications on his future.
How to Solve the Problem
Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone thought they were going to breeze through the examination, told all their friends, made plans for their future, and then got an embarrassing reality check from the CPIM test.
The Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Exam is quite simply - an objective assessment of a test taker's requisite foundation of knowledge and skills.
CPIM test scores are used by APICS The Association for Operations Management as a uniform standard of qualification. While it may not be fair, all of a person's plans for the future may be dependent upon needing a certain CPIM test score.
That is the whole purpose of our Secrets of the CPIM Exam study guide: to give test takers the keys to understand how to succeed on the CPIM test.
Our Study Guide for the CPIM Test Is Unlike Any Other
If you'd like to get the CPIM test score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your CPIM test score is "good enough," and to beat the test taking game so you can become a Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) professional, then this might be the most important message you read this year.
Our comprehensive CPIM test study guide is written by our CPIM test experts, who painstakingly researched every topic and concept you need to know to ace your CPIM test. Our original research into the Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Exam, offered by APICS The Association for Operations Management, reveals specific weaknesses that you can exploit to increase your CPIM test score more than you've ever imagined.
Now, we know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let us give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:
Three Reasons To Believe What We Say
Reason one:
Our company's name is Morrison Media LLC, and we have a team of standardized test researchers who set out to find and exploit the weaknesses of the CPIM test. There are very strict standards for who gets to work on the team- we demand the best for our customers, and only those who met our exacting standards made the cut. Our dedicated research staff have years of combined experience in cracking the code of the toughest exams.
Reason two:
Some academic studies have revealed that test takers do not really benefit from traditional test preparation. But we knew there had to be a solution- if test takers were not doing well on the CPIM test despite high intelligence, there had to be a set of secret keys to the test that would open the door of success for these test takers.
We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of this exam. What we found was surprising, and in some cases ridiculously simple once explained to the average test taker.
We put our findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, to improve his or her results dramatically with a minimum of effort.
Reason three:
We created this product in part because we were sick of the options available to test takers who really wanted to do well on the CPIM test.
A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the CPIM test- you have to know how to apply the knowledge. Most test takers already have a general knowledge of what will be covered on the exam.
One reason some test takers do well on test day is that they have made the critical connection between the material they learned and how to use that material to succeed on the CPIM test.
Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material and knowing how to use the material to perform on test day.
You're going to save time, money, and aggravation. You'll learn to avoid the mistakes and bad strategies that you've been vulnerable to. Just for starters, here are some ways our product can help your CPIM test score...

- Why answers that "sound" correct are often wrong- and how to tell the difference between right answers and clever-sounding traps
- Our "benchmark" method for deciding which answer choice to pick
- How random bits of information often "give away" the right answer in questions

- How to use our brainstorming method to get "inside the question" and reveal hard-to-find clues and things you didn't realize you knew
- Do you know what a "hedge phrase" is? Learn why looking for these key "weasel words" can help identify correct answers
- Why "new information" in answer choices almost always means that the answer choice is wrong- and how to avoid this trick planted by clever test writers
- Learn to avoid this time-draining mistake on tests- why technical terms you don't know can be a major stumbling block and waste precious time, and how to work around them
- The secret to using contextual clues to make important distinctions between right and wrong answer choices
- Two situations where you should NOT check your answers thoroughly
- How to avoid careless mistakes by using our quick "double check" system that will more than pay for itself relative to the time it will take you
- Test writers will often quote directly from the question in an answer- learn whether this is something you should trust or avoid
- Why "extreme statements" in answer choices are dead giveaways for wrong answers- find out how to detect the subtle differences between reasonable answers and those that are almost always wrong
- Learn how to group your answer choices into "families" that often narrows down the pool of correct answers- this is a quick way to immediately eliminate one or two answer choices and increase your odds of getting the question right

I purchased your Secrets file, and I just wanted to let you know that I got a 99% on my test. I just want to thank you again, and hope you have continued success in your ventures. Sincerely, Paul L.
My name is Chris. I used the Secrets study guide for five days. The study guide made the test so easy to understand. Like you said this program is worth 100's of dollars. To me 1,000's!! THANKS, Chris G.
I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!! Brian
I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you! Zac L.
Warning: Always Look for These 6 Criteria
There is a lot of confusion surrounding studying for the CPIM test, and standardized tests in general. In our opinion, these are the 6 criteria you should always look for in a study guide for the CPIM test:
One: It must be written by writers who have painstakingly researched the topics and concepts needed to succeed on the CPIM test. The blind cannot hope to lead the blind.
Two: It must be written in easy-to-use everyday language so all test takers can access the information.
Three: It should be to-the-point, with no fluff to distract the test taker from the truly important information.
Four: It must address the test first, the material second. If the material was the only thing that was important, then every test taker that understood the material should get a perfect score- that doesn't happen because there's a difference between simply knowing what's on the test and test performance. You want a study guide to close that gap.
Five: It must motivate the test taker to actually study. If it's hard to read, studying is slow and painful, and will produce meager results.
Six: The guide must be guaranteed- if you don't pass with flying colors, you get your money back- no questions asked.
You get at least 10 times your money's worth!
When you consider what's at stake with your exam, we believe the value of our study guide gives you at least ten times your money's worth.
In summary, here's what you get:
