PHR Practice Tests 2026: HRCI PHR Exam Prep Questions

Preparing for the PHR (Professional in Human Resources) exam? These practice tests let you rehearse the real thing: the same number of questions, the same time limit and the same balance of topics as the current exam content outline.

What is inside

• 2 full-length practice tests, 115 questions each, 230 questions in total

• 120 minutes per test, the same pace as the exam

• Questions distributed by the weights of the seven functional areas: Business Management, Workforce Planning and Talent Acquisition, Learning and Development, Total Rewards, Employee Engagement, Employee and Labor Relations, HR Information Management

• Scenario-based questions that ask what HR should do first, what the best response is and which federal rule applies

• More than half of the questions test US federal employment law: FLSA, FMLA, Title VII, ADA, ADEA, NLRA, OSHA, COBRA, ERISA, USERRA, FCRA, Form I-9 and more

• Calculation items: turnover, cost per hire, compa-ratio, overtime with a bonus, training ROI, the four-fifths rule

• An explanation for every answer option, so you learn why the right answer is right and why each wrong one is wrong

How to use the tests

Take the first test in exam mode to find your weak domains. Review every explanation, including the questions you answered correctly. Use practice mode to drill a single domain. Then take the second test under full exam conditions. Aim for 70% or higher on both before you book your exam.

All questions are original and written for exam practice. They are not real exam questions.
