How Long Does It Take To Get CRPO Exam Results?
Both Compass and the CRPO indicate that it often takes 6-8 weeks to receive marks from the CRPO exam. Based upon our research, we have observed that most test takers who write the exam in the Fall sitting (usually in mid- to late-October) will tend to receive their CRPO exam results in the first or second week of December. This is a wait time right on par with that 6 to 8-week timeframe. Conversely, we have found that test takers who choose the Spring sitting (usually in mid- to late-April) will tend to receive their CRPO exam results near the end of May. While this may be purely coincidental, this wait time of only 5-7 weeks seems to suggest that the wait time for marks from the Spring sessions are usually shorter than those in the Fall sitting.

Which leads us to the next obvious question…
Why Does It Take So Long To Receive CRPO Exam Marks?
The simple answer is, we don’t know why it takes so long to receive marks from the CRPO exam. The exams are all written on computers and the results are obviously cumulated in a similar manner. One would presume that the results would be available in minutes, as opposed to taking two months to determine. However, this is not the case, and many report that waiting for their exam marks is a tense time filled with anxiety. This is yet another reason why the feeling confident and prepared before writing the exam is so crucial.
