PMI made a decision in 2006 to no longer publish passing scores for its exams. In 2007, PMI also removed all quantitative elements from the post-exam review for test candidates. The passing score is estimated inside a range between 61% and 75%.
The exam has 200 multiple choice questions. Each question has exactly one correct answer. You will get 4 hours to answer these questions. 25 pre-test questions will be randomly placed throughout the new examination to gather statistical information on the performance of these questions, in order to determine whether they may be used on future examinations. These 25 pre-test items are included in the 200-question examination, but will not be included in the pass/fail determination. Candidates will be scored on 175 questions.
It is highly recommended that you become PMI member prior to signing up for the test. The membership fee is $129 and an application can be submitted online at www.pmi.org. If you are a PMI member, the exam fee is $405. For non-members, the exam fee is $555.
PMI has an online application for certification. More information regarding applying for the exam online is available at PMI’s website at www.pmi.org. The PMP Credential Handbook is also available in PDF format on the PMI website.
PMI states that all eligible applications are subject to an audit. Upon successful completion of the audit, candidates will be able to sit for the PMP examination. Submission of an application indicates agreement to comply with audit terms. Please be advised, that while the selection process for the audit is primarily random, PMI does reserve the right to manually select any candidate to be audited at any time, including after the credential has been bestowed. Candidates who are selected for audit will receive an e-mail notification from PMI with detailed information on how to comply with the terms of the audit.
Within the first 15 minutes, you will be asked to go over a tutorial. 15 minutes to review tutorial is not included 4 hours exam duration. Reviewing tutorial approximately takes 5 minutes. You can use 10 minutes of this time to jot down formulas, all processes, and knowledge areas on your scratch paper. Don’t skip this step. During the exam, you need to focus on the question instead of trying to remember formulas. You can just refer to the written formulas when those questions arise rather than having to reach into your memory during the stress of a timed exam.
It depends on how much experience you have as a project manager and how familiar you are with PMI’s terminology. However, you should expect to spend at least two months, spending two to three hours per day, before you take the exam.
Becoming PMP-certified increases your value to your organization, increases your marketability, professional/personal recognition, provides advancement in your field, demonstrates an ability to meet the standardized and recognized project management body of knowledge, and raises customer confidence in you and your company’s services.
