About PMP Exam

PMP is a close book exam. You cannot refer to any study material during your examination.

No two candidates get the same set of questions. As a result, there is no fixed score to clear the exam.

To crack the PMP exam, you need to answer questions from these 3 domains:

  • People (42%): Focuses on the soft skills needed for leading high-functioning teams.
  • Process (50%): Focuses on the technical aspects for driving successful projects. 
  • Business Environment (8%): Focuses on aligning projects with organizational strategies and goals.

The PMP certification exam questions consist of a total of 200 MCQs. Out of these, the examiners only score 175 questions, the remaining 25 are pre-test questions that don't change your final score. To complete the exam, you get a time limit of 4 hours, thereby giving you ample time to answer each question with no rush. Additionally, there is no penalty for a wrong answer, so don't be afraid and make an attempt at every question to the best of your ability. When you do this, your chances of achieving a positive outcome in the exam grow ten folds.

The PMP exam in its new format contains 180 questions. The questions are based on the three domains of People, Process, and Business Environment.

Sitting for the re-examination for the Project Management Professional certification is straightforward. You have three chances to take the PMP exam within a year of being approved. If you fail all three attempts, you will have to wait a year to try again. To reapply, go to pmi.org, pay the re-examination fee, and you'll receive a new eligibility ID. Use that ID to schedule your exam. There is no required waiting period to retake the exam. Still, you need to follow these steps: apply for a re-examination, wait for your previous result to be registered (usually 3-4 business days), and book a new exam slot within the one-year eligibility period.  

You can take the PMP exam up to 3 times within 1 year from the date of your application approval. In case you fail the PMP exam thrice, you need to wait for one year from the date of your last exam to reapply.

The PMI has stopped publishing the pass rate ever since 2005. However, it’s believed the PMP pass rate is less than 70%.

The combination of dedication and intensive training from an Authorized Training Partner of PMI is the secret recipe of clearing the PMP exam at the first attempt.  

To be eligible for the PMP Certification Exam, you need to have at least three years (or 36 months) of experience managing projects. This means leading and directing different projects, not counting the same one more than once. If you worked on two separate projects for 18 months each, that totals 36 months of eligible experience. This experience must be specifically in project management, not other roles like software development or business analysis. However, you'll need five years (or 60 months) of project management experience if you don't have a bachelor's degree. Our online PMP training program comes with PMP application assistance, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything while taking the exam.
