How do you earn your credential? To be eligible for a PMP® credential, you must first meet specific educational and/or project management experience requirements and agree to adhere to a code of professional conduct. The final step in gaining your credential is a rigorous multiple-choice examination designed to objectively assess your project management knowledge.
The PMP Examination The PMP Examination measures the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques that are utilized in the practice of project management and is based on the PMP Examination Specification that details the percentage of questions contained in each performance domain (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Controlling, Closing, and Professional and Social Responsibility).
The examination is comprised of 200 multiple-choice questions, of which 25 are considered pretest questions. Pretest questions are randomly placed throughout the exam and do not affect the candidate’s score. They are used in examinations to increase the number of future examination questions.
The allotted time to complete the examination is four hours. The four-hour examination is preceded by a 15-minute computer tutorial, which is not part of the allotted four hours.
The passing score for the PMP Examination is determined by a criterion-referenced approach called the Modified Angoff Technique, a certification industry standard practice relying on the collective judgments of groups of PMP certificants from around the globe and currently (12/2006) requires about a 61% correct score to pass.
