Does SHRM publish the pass rates for the PHR and SPHR? I am trying to gauge how difficult each is relative to the other. Anyone have experience with both the PHR and SPHR exam who can quantify their relative difficulty? Thanks! [:D]

    They do publish the pass rates.  Look at www.hrci.org  This site has lots of information on the tests.  Of course the SPHR is geared to be more difficult than the PHR.  The biggest difference is the types of questions asked.  The percentage from each of the areas is different for the two tests.  You can also find this information on the web-site.  If it is any help, my HR mentor recommended that I just go for the gusto and take the SPHR - why take that test twice, as in first the PHR and then the SPHR?  It is a difficult test, but then shouldn't it be.  I took a prep course recommended by our local chapter of SHRM.  It was helpful.  I passed the SPHR on my first try. 

     Good luck!
