To pass the PF1 exam you need 65%, and the official registration fee is Varies (typically CAD $300–$500 range per exam, subject to region and membership status). Since a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking means paying Varies (typically CAD $300–$500 range per exam, subject to region and membership status) in full again — treat the booking as the last step, not the first. Work through the TestKingFree practice questions until your timed scores sit comfortably above 65%, and only then lock in your exam date.

The PF1 (Payroll Fundamentals 1Exam) is the official National Payroll Institute examination that awards the Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) certification to candidates who pass it. Within the National Payroll Institute program it is classed as a Associate credential. It sits alongside related certifications such as Payroll Fundamentals 2 (PF2), Payroll Fundamentals 3 (PF3), Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP). Because the credential comes straight from the vendor, employers treat it as verified proof of skill — and the 75 practice questions at TestKingFree follow the same published blueprint.

On exam day you will have 180 minutes to complete Approximately 100 questions in the PF1 exam. Divide your attention deliberately: answer what you know first, mark anything doubtful, and sweep back through flagged items near the end rather than burning minutes on a single question. The best way to defuse time pressure is exposure — schedule at least one full-length timed session in the TestKingFree test engine so the pacing feels automatic when it counts.

For structured learning, National Payroll Institute recommends these official courses for PF1 candidates:
