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

The PMP exam has 180 questions with an allotted time of 240 minutes (4 hours). Of those, 170 are scored and 10 are unscored pretest questions placed at random, which do not affect your result. Two 10-minute breaks are provided: the first after the case study section, the second about midway through the independent questions. The optional tutorial and survey are not counted in the 240 minutes. The 2026 exam uses case or scenario questions and graphic-based questions, both new in 2026, alongside multiple-choice single response, multiple-response and matching questions. Enhanced matching and point-and-click (hotspot) questions are available at test centers only. You can sit the exam at a Pearson VUE test center or online proctored.

What are the PMP exam domains?

The PMP exam covers three domains. In PMI's Examination Content Outline (July 2026) they are weighted People 33%, Process 41% and Business Environment 26%. People spans 8 tasks covering shared vision, conflict, team leadership, stakeholder engagement and communication. Process spans 10 tasks covering integrated planning, scope, value-based delivery, resources, procurement, finance, quality, schedule, project status and closure. Business Environment spans 8 tasks covering governance, compliance, change control, impediments, risk, continuous improvement, organizational change and external business environment changes. Business Environment rose from 8% to 26% in the 2026 update, the largest single change to the exam.

What is the passing score for the PMP exam?

PMI does not publish a passing score or a fixed pass percentage for the PMP exam. Results are reported as pass or fail with performance feedback by domain, so aim for broad competence across all three domains rather than a target percentage.

What if I do not pass the PMP exam the first time?

You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. If you do not pass in three attempts, PMI requires you to wait one year from the date of your last exam before reapplying, although you may apply for another PMI certification during that year. If your eligibility period simply expires without a pass, you reapply with no waiting period. Our mock exams, scenario practice and trainer support are built to help you pass first time.

Where can I take the PMP exam?

You can take the exam online through Pearson VUE OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test center, including centers in and around San Francisco. Scheduling happens once PMI approves your application, once your application is approved. Our team can help you plan your exam date - email contact@invensislearning.com.

Do I need prior experience to take this PMP training?

PMI publishes four qualifying paths and you need to meet one of them. Path A: upper-secondary or secondary school completion (EQF Level 4 / ISCED 34) plus 60 months (5 years) leading and directing projects. Path B: an associate-level, higher-certificate or advanced technical/vocational qualification (EQF Level 5 / ISCED 5) plus 48 months (4 years). Path C: a bachelor's degree, or an advanced professional qualification formally mapped to EQF Level 6 / ISCED 6, plus 36 months (3 years). Path D: a degree from a program accredited by PMI's Global Accreditation Center (GAC) plus 24 months (2 years). Every path also requires 35 hours of commercial training (often called contact hours) in project management, which this course provides. Your experience must be non-overlapping and accrued within the last 10 years before you apply, in a professional setting, leading and directing projects.

What topics does the PMP training cover?

The training covers the three domains: People, Process and Business Environment
