» What is the PMP® Certification Examination?
The PMP® Credential was established in 1984 in order to recognize practitioners’ skills and knowledge in the field of project management. Passing the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Exam, along with experience and education, is key to achieving the PMP Credential. The PMP® examination is comprised of 200 mutually-exclusive, four-option multiple-choice questions. Of the 200 questions, 25 are considered pre-test questions which are not included in the score for the exam, but are used to test the validity of questions for possible use in future exams. Examinees must correctly answer 106, or 61%, of the remaining 175 questions in order to pass the examination.
