Candidates for ASEP and CSEP certification take the same exam. You do not need to declare which certification you plan to get when you take the exam. It's the same questions and the same passing score required no matter which certification level you will pursue.

Candidates testing online or on paper take the same exam ... sort of. All candidates take at least 100 exam questions, and only those 100 questions are scored. Some candidates also take another 20 or 50 questions that are not scored. Those are beta questions that INCOSE is testing on the candidate, to decide if we should use them in the future. They do not affect your score. If you take any beta questions, you may also be asked demographic questions, like how many years of experience you have. These also do not affect your score or the required passing score.
