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 effect the candidate's score. They are used in examinations as an effective and legitimate way 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.
PMP® Examination questions are:
- Developed and validated by global work groups of content experts
- Referenced to current resources from project management textbook sources
- Monitored through psychometric analysis, and
- To satisfy the test specifications of a job analysis
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.
