PMP Certification Exam

     

Q: 1) What is the PMP® Exam Passing Score?

A: 1) The PMP® exam is a 4-hour multiple choice exam. In these 4 hours, you are going to have to answer 200 questions. Each question is either scenario based or knowledge based and has 4 possible answers - A, B, C or D. You can only select one answer.

Out of these 200 questions, 25 are considered "pretest questions".These pretest questions do not affect your score. The PMI uses them as an effective and legitimate way for testing the questions. In other words: new questions for the exam are first tried out in this way, to see how well they work. The pretest questions are randomly placed throughout the exam.

So you start out with 200 questions minus the 25 pretest questions which leaves 175 questions. Out of these, you must answer 106correctly. That is 61%.

If you would like more details on this, then I recommend that you read the PMP Credentials Handbook which you can find at this location: http://www.pmi.org/info/PDC_PMPHandbook.pdf

     

Q: 2) Experience Verification?

A: 2) Experience Verification

Use the Experience Verification Forms to document and report your experience leading and directing project tasks. Experience must have been accrued in the last eight years. Complete one set of forms per project.

How do you calculate the months of professional project management experience or hours leading and directing project tasks?

Number of Months of Project Management Experience
Each month in which you worked on multiple, overlapping projects is to count as one month toward the total months of unique non-overlapping professional project management experience.

Number of Hours that You Led or Directed Project Tasks
Consider all of the projects that you have worked on and identify how many hours you led or directed project tasks. If you worked on multiple projects at one time, all the hours spent leading and directing project tasks count toward the requirement.

35 Contact Hours of Education

Verify at least 35 contact hours of specific instruction that addresses learning objectives in project management. Document all project management education hours, regardless of when they were accrued. The course work must be completed at the time of application. The course hours may include content on project quality, scope, time, cost, human resources, communications, risk, procurement and integration management.

A: 7) Project Management Professional (PMP): The PMP Certification demonstrates high level of expertise and knowledge of project management concepts and practices. PMP Certification aspirants have to fulfill certain educational and professional experience require- ments before they can take this certification. Furthermore, they are expected to adhere to the code of professional conduct and maintain their commitment to project management profession after attaining the PMP Certification by satisfying the PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements Program.

Visit http://www.pmi.orgto get detailed information about the exam, such as exam objectives, prerequisites, number of questions, types of questions, passing score, time limit, exam fee, and how to prepare for the exam.

Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM): The CAPM Certification is for those project management professionals who are relatively new to this discipline. Logically, CAPM certification is a stepping-stone to the PMP Certification. The prerequisites for acquiring the CAPM certification are comparatively less rigorous than those for the PMP Certification.
