The Project Management Institute (PMI)
INTRODUCTION
The Project Management Institute (PMI) offers a professional certification for
project managers, known as the Project Management Professional (PMP)®. PMI’s
examination development processes stand apart from other certification programs.
PMI aligns its process with certification industry best practices, such as those
found in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. The PMP®
certification is also accredited against the internationally recognized ISO 9001
and ISO/ANSI 17024 standards. 1 A key component of the ISO/ANSI 17024 standard
is that organizations wishing to offer valid, reliable and fair credentialing
examinations must use a criterion referenced approach as the basis for exam
creation such as a role delineation study (RDS) or job task analysis (JTA). PMI
conducted a global practice analysis (GPA), which included both extensive market
research and a JTA. The GPA produced a number of trends in the profession
previously unaddressed in the PMP exam. These trends were used as inputs into
the JTA and ensure the validity and relevance of the PMP examination. Validation
assures that each examination measures the most critical and frequently
performed elements of the project management profession in terms of real
settings. The PMP examination is a vital part of the earning this professional
certification thus it is imperative that the exam accurately reflect the
practices of project managers. All the questions on the examination have been
written and extensively reviewed by subject matter experts who hold a valid PMP
and tracked to at least two references. These questions are mapped to the PMP
Examination Content Outline to ensure that an appropriate number of questions
are in place for a valid examination. PMI retained Alpine Testing Solutions to
develop the global PMP Examination Content Outline. Alpine Testing Solutions
provides psychometric, test development, and credential management solutions to
credentialing and educational programs. Finally, there are noticeable
differences between this updated PMP Examination Content Outline and A Guide to
the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). While there are some
commonalities, it is important to note that the volunteer taskforce involved in
the GPA study described previously were not bound by the PMBOK® Guide. The
taskforce members were charged with outlining critical job tasks of individuals
who lead and direct projects based on their experience and pertinent resources
EXAM CONTENT OUTLINE
The following table identifies the proportion of questions from each domain that will appear on the
examination.
Important note: The research conducted through the JTA validated that today’s project management
practitioners work in a variety of project environments and utilize different project approaches. Accordingly,
the PMP certification will be reflective of this and will incorporate approaches across the value delivery
spectrum. About half of the examination will represent predictive project management
approaches and the other half willrepresent agile or hybrid approaches. Predictive, agile, and hybrid
approaches will be found throughout the three domain areas listed above and are not isolated to any
particular domain or task. The exact number of items for each question type and approach may vary by
form. Our scoring model is periodically reviewed by scoring experts to ensure valid assessment of
knowledge and skills.

Exam notes :
The PMP exam tests your knowledge regarding the five performance domains:
- Initiating the project (13%)
- Planning the project (24%)
- Executing the project (30%)
- Monitoring and controlling the project (25%)
- Closing the project (8%)
The exam consists of 200 multiple choice questions . Twenty-five of the 200 questions on the exam are "sample" questions used to fine-tune the degree of difficulty and precision of the exam and as such are not counted for or against a test taker. These questions are placed randomly throughout the exam. The test taker is only graded on their proficiency on 175 questions. The numbers in parentheses describe the percentage of questions for each domain.
Examination process
Candidates who take the computer-based test receive their results (passed or not passed) immediately upon completion. PMI also evaluates proficiency levels in each project management process group from high proficiency to low proficiency in a score report which the candidates receive after the examination. Candidates who take paper-based tests receive their test results and score reports typically within 4 weeks.The PMP exam is offered as a computer-based test(cbt) 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 exam scoring. The score is calculated based on the other 175 items. Each item has a key (the correct answer) and three distractors (incorrect answer choices).
Pre-requisites to become eligible
Candidates must have completed a high school diploma or an associates degree with 60 months (7,500 hours) of project management experience, or a bachelor's degree with 36 months (4,500 hours) of project management experience. In both cases candidates must also have 35 contact hours of project management education. The application for the exam and verification of education and experience are done online at the PMI website.
