The B3A exam, officially titled Health and Welfare Plans - Strategic Planning and Design, is the qualifying exam for the Certified Benefits Professional (CBP®) certification, which sits at the Professional / Intermediate-Advanced level. Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a WorldatWork career path. It also connects to GRP, CSCP, ACCP, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.
The B3A exam gives you 75 questions to complete within 120 minutes. Do the math before exam day: divide the total time by the question count to set a steady per-question pace, and flag any item that stalls you so you can return to it after securing the easier points. The most reliable way to build that rhythm is a full timed practice test under the same limit, which is exactly what TestSimulate's test engines are designed for.
The passing score for WorldatWork Health and Welfare Plans - Strategic Planning and Design is 70%, and the official registration fee is $400 (members) / $595 (non-members); $1,130 (exam + LMS access).
