  3. PMI ensures quality and fairness in the exam design, content, and delivery.
     
  4. The process to become PMP certified is an undertaking, which increases a person's ability to successfully lead and manage projects.

Updates for Candidates: Changes in the PMP Exam

04-2019: PMI replaces the exam provider. Beginning on July 01, 2019, PMP candidates will do their exams in Pearson VUE testing locations, no more at Thomson Prometric. For candidates, the benefit is a much higher number and density of training locations, potentially saving time and costs for travelling.

As an example, Munich will have 13 testing centers instead of one.

01-2018: New exam version: On September 6, 2017, the new PMBOK® Guide 6th Edition has been published. It replaced the previous 5th Edition as a reference for the certification exam in March 2018.

The PMP seminar has been updated to the new exam version in January 2018.

Students prepared for the old version of the exam but taking the new version will receive free update help from us.

Please inquire for details: team@oliverlehmann.com

Strategy for Studying

tl_files/oliverlehmann/media/img/waytopmpexam.png

For the exam preparation (100 hrs are recommended) – attendance of a preparation seminar followed by mentored, self-directed learning has proven as a strategy. This means that exam applicants use literature, attend seminars, use sample questions, apps, and podcasts about the topic, among other things.

The image on the right shows a way to the certification exam that has been well-proven, including the recommended amount of time.

How Many Correct Answers Should be Aimed For in Sample Tests?

Collections of sample questions with a higher level of difficulty, where a majority of questions is not inspired only by contents of the PMBOK® Guide, but of other source literature as well, the target should be a result of 75% of correct answers. In some rather simple tests, meaning those that are tightly connected with the PMBOK® Guide, at least 82% should be answered correctly.

If these results are reached during the preparation process, the exam may likely be passed on the first try.

Then, the PMP certificate is awarded for a period of three years. After this time, it has to be renewed by showing evidence of certain activities―details can be found here.
