PMP® Exam Process

The PMP® exam is conducted as a computer-based test through the global network of Prometric testing centers. There is also a paper-based option for locations with no Prometric testing centers nearby. The exam consists of 200 questions ("items"). 25 are pre-release items, which are not included in the exam scoring card. The score is calculated based on the other 175 items. Each item has a key (the correct answer) and three distracters (incorrect answer choices).

Candidates who take on the computer-based test receive their results (qualified and disqualified) immediately upon the completion. PMI also evaluates proficiency levels in each of the project management process groups from high proficiency to low proficiency in a score report which the candidates will receive after the examination. Candidates who take paper-based tests receive their test results and score reports typically within 4 weeks. Preparation assistance to facilitate a PMP® candidate passing the examination is available in many delivery forms. Many books, e-Learning courses, and classroom experiences may be sourced easily via the internet search.
