The PMP examination is a critical step in earning a professional credential. It is imperative that the exam accurately reflects the practices of project management practitioners. All questions on the examination are written and extensively reviewed by qualified PMP credential holders and are validated against at least two academic references. These questions are mapped to the PMP Examination Content Outline to ensure an appropriate distribution for a valid and reliable examination.
The second part, PMP Application & Payment and PMP Examination Information, provides details on how to apply for PMP certification. PMI requires all PMP certification applicants to read this outline in its entirety. The purpose of these sections is to provide important information about the policies and procedures for obtaining and maintaining PMP certification.
