About the PMP Exam and Certification

Welcome to the world of the Project Management Professional® (PMP)! At its heart, the project management standards developed by the Project Management Institute® (PMI) are relied on by organizations across the globe. The most fundamental method of demonstrating your own understanding of PMI's project management standards, is by achieving the PMP certification.

Since the early 2000s, the PMP certification has grown to become one of the most sought after and internationally recognized management credentials available, consistently ranking in the top 5 industry certifications across career surveys.

The PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition is the definitive reference text for the current PMP exam certification. Students will use the PMBOK® Guide to refer to for all PMP Knowledge Areas and process definitions.

More About the PMP Exam Format (All Versions)
The PMP exam is designed to objectively assess and measure project management knowledge. Concepts covered in the PMP exam are directly derived from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide. The PMBOK® Guide is an internationally recognized standard (IEEE Std 1490-2003) which outlines project management fundamentals; and is applicable to a wide range of industries.

• There are 200 total multiple choice questions which make up the PMP exam
• 25 randomly placed "pretest questions" are included, and do not count towards the pass/fail determination. These questions are not identifiable during the exam.
• Individuals have four hours to complete the exam
• Only correct answers count, and a passing score is determined by “sound psychometric analysis”. This scoring method indicates that scores reflect the difficulty of the questions answered. As such, PMI does not identify a precise "score" needed to pass the exam.

Exam content reflects the knowledge areas and processes based on the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition The ten PMBOK® Knowledge Areas contain a total of 49 processes which are applied to five basic process groups. These five basic process groups, which are common across all projects, are listed below along with the percentage of questions one should expect on the PMP exam:

Additionally, our PMP practice exam content includes questions on the overall Project Management Framework and Professional Responsibility , reflecting the real PMP exam. The actual exam is offered in both a computer based testing (CBT) environment, as well as through proctored paper-based exams.

About the Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification The PMP certification is managed by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and reflects the PMI's project management processes as published in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide. Since 1984, the PMP certification has become one of the most sought after internationally recognized management credentials available. The average salary of a PMP certified manager is 14% higher than individuals without the PMP certification.

The PMP certification is a globally recognized credential, and individuals are encouraged to remain active via PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCRs). Only individuals who maintain active PMP credentials may refer to themselves as Project Management Professionals. Individuals do not need to be a member of PMI to earn a PMP credential.

The following are the minimum requirements in attaining the PMP certification:

• 4500 hours of project-based experience for individuals with a four-year degree or global equivalent
• 7500 hours of project-based experience for individuals without a secondary degree (high school, associates degree, or global equivalent)
• Project Management Education: 35 contact hours of formal education
• Ethics: Agree to PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
• Pass the PMP Exam
