The PMP exam will change in July 2023, making now a critical time to take it. If you're eligible, taking the exam before the change ensures you can still benefit from the current format and content.
What Changes Are Coming?
The upcoming changes to the PMP exam will focus on a new set of competencies and may introduce different question formats. This shift could impact how well candidates are prepared, especially if they are accustomed to the current exam structure.
Key Considerations
- Current PMP exam format will be available until the end of June 2023.
- New exam structure will be implemented in July 2023.
- Eligibility requirements remain the same: 36 months of project leadership experience with a bachelor’s degree or 60 months without.
Taking the PMP exam before the changes could provide a clearer path to certification without the added uncertainty of a new format. If you’re prepared and meet the eligibility criteria, register for the exam soon.
