Exam

What if I do not pass the PMP on the first attempt?

PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our training includes mock exams, practice questions and domain-wise strategy to prepare you thoroughly. Reexamination fees apply to later attempts.

How many questions are on the PMP exam and how long is it?

The PMP exam has 180 questions and lasts 230 minutes (3 hours 50 minutes), including two 10-minute breaks. It uses multiple-choice, multiple-response, matching, hotspot and limited fill-in-the-blank questions.

What is the passing score for the PMP exam?

PMI does not publish a fixed pass mark. Results are determined through psychometric analysis and reported as Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement by domain, so aim for broad mastery across the exam.

Which standard is the PMP exam based on?

The exam follows the current PMP Examination Content Outline and references the PMBOK Guide Eighth Edition, PMI's latest standard, covering roughly half predictive and half agile or hybrid content.
