The L6M9 exam, officially titled Supply Network Design, is the qualifying exam for the Level 6 Professional Diploma in Procurement and Supply certification, which sits at the Professional level. Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a CIPS career path. It also connects to CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply, CIPS Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Procurement and Supply, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.

The L6M9 exam gives you 60 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 NewPassLeader's test engines are designed for.

The passing score for CIPS Supply Network Design is 50%, and the official registration fee is £180 - £220 (varies by region and membership status). Keep in mind that a retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes an honest self-check worthwhile: before you book, sit a timed practice test and make sure you are consistently scoring above the passing line with some margin to spare.
