What is inside
Planned **60** flashcards across talent, employee relations, compensation/benefits, and compliance — the same four buckets as the free readiness check. Built for **HRCI PHR**, not SPHR and not SHRM-CP.
Plan with the free PHR mock (live now)
**Start:** Take the [60-question PHR readiness check (free 25-question version)](/mock-exams/phr-hrci-readiness-check) (75 minutes / 70% diagnostic). **Then:** Use HRCI’s outline. **When Anki ships:** 15–20 cards/day on the weakest topic row only.
Official PHR: **90 scored + 25 pretest / 2 hours / scaled 500**. Our mock is a shorter diagnostic.
Pitfalls this deck targets (when live)
Candidates treat job titles as FLSA exemptions, skip OSHA 300 recording, or sit SHRM-CP banks for an HRCI exam.
What this does not replace
HRCI registration. Anki is **planned**. Independent prep — not HRCI material.
