Frequently Asked Questions

Are free PMP practice questions enough to pass?

Free PMP practice questions are a great starting point, but most successful candidates use them alongside other study materials. They help you gauge where you stand and identify weak areas. Think of them as one piece of the puzzle - you'll also want to study the PMBOK Guide, take a PMP prep course, and ideally work through several hundred questions total before sitting for the real thing.

How many PMP practice questions should I do before the exam?

Most PMP trainers recommend completing at least 1,000 to 2,000 practice questions during your preparation. That might sound like a lot, but spreading them over 4-8 weeks makes it very manageable. The goal isn't just memorization - it's about understanding why each answer is correct so you can apply that reasoning to new scenarios on the actual exam.

What topics does the PMP exam cover?

The PMP exam is organized around three domains: People (42%), Process (50%), and Business Environment (8%). People covers leadership, team building, and stakeholder engagement. Process deals with planning, execution, and monitoring. And Business Environment focuses on how projects connect to organizational strategy. About half the questions lean toward predictive (waterfall) approaches, while the other half cover agile and hybrid methods.

Can I take the PMP exam online?

Yes, PMI offers an online proctored version of the PMP exam that you can take from home or your office. You'll need a quiet, private room with a stable internet connection and a working webcam. The online version has the exact same content and scoring as the testing center version. Just make sure your workspace is clear of any notes or study materials - the proctor monitors you throughout.

What is the best way to study for PMP?

There's no single best method since everyone learns differently, but a combination approach tends to work well. Start with a structured PMP prep course to build your foundation, then reinforce what you've learned with practice questions. Many people find that study groups help keep them accountable. Focus especially on understanding the 'why' behind project management processes rather than just memorizing inputs and outputs.

How long is the PMP certification valid?

Your PMP certification is valid for three years from the date you pass. To maintain it, you need to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) during each three-year cycle. PDUs can come from attending conferences, taking courses, giving presentations, or even volunteering. If you don't earn enough PDUs, your certification will be suspended - so it's worth planning ahead.

What happens if I fail the PMP exam?

If you don't pass, don't panic - you can retake it. PMI allows up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. You'll need to pay the re-examination fee each time, which is $275 for PMI members and $375 for non-members. After a failed attempt, review your score report carefully. It shows your performance in each domain, so you can target your weakest areas before trying again.
