Is PMP Difficult? What Is the PMP Exam Pass
Rate?
All of the 200 questions in PMP Certification
Examination are single choice questions. In the mainland of China, the PMP Certification
Exam is conducted in both Chinese and English, with English as the standard and
Chinese as the English translation. (for candidates who are good at English, it
is recommended to focus on English, while for candidates who are bad at
English, it is recommended to focus on Chinese, and the stem should stick to
English.)
Among the 200 single choice
questions, 25 of them will be randomly selected and will not be included in the
score. Of the remaining 175 questions, if 106 of them are correctly answered
and examinee will basically pass the exam. Just to be sure, answer 131
questions correctly. Even if the 25 questions selected are all right, you still
have to answer 106 questions correctly, so you can pass.
PS: PMP Exam does not use the
direct score display, but uses B, M, P to show the score. (B - Below Proficient,
M - Moderately Proficient, P - Proficient)
Generally speaking, if you get M or
P in each process domain, it is sure to pass. If there are more than 2 B, which
is more mysterious, the specific results will be seen in the email sent by PMI.
(I have seen people who ever got 3 B also passed).
Netizen Analysis 2:
1. As long as the
course is professional enough and you prepare for the exam carefully, it is not
difficult to pass the PMP Exam. Although the passing rate of PMP examination in
the world is only about 30% - 50%. It is generally higher in China than that at
abroad, which is generally about 70%. The passing rate of excellent PMP Training
Institutions will reach 85% or more.
2. There are 200
single choice questions in PMP, of which 25 are random questions. Correct
answers and wrong answers do not count as grades, and the remaining 175 are
qualified with 106 correct answers.
Netizen Analysis 3:
About the passing rate of PMP
examination, the official did not give an accurate figure, but the passing rate
in China is generally higher than that at abroad.
Generally speaking, the PMP exam
difficulty
is not particularly big. It is all about the knowledge system related to Project
Management, focusing on understanding. Unlike the kind of technical
examination, PMP test questions are all single-choice questions, and the time
is abundant. There are four hours. Generally, as long as sufficient preparation
is made before the examination, there is no big problem in the examination, and
the PMP examination results are not graded, as long as you pass the examination,
you can get the certificate.
Netizen Analysis 4:
In fact, PMP pass rate is very high, which
is much higher than the Software Exam. Six of our company all have passed the PMP
Exam. In the five process groups, the Execution and Monitoring Groups are of
high score, which you can't not fail. If you fail one of them, the efforts are
totally wasted. There are some things that should be memorized and the teacher
will give you pithy formulas, which can be mastered through several exercises.
I did a total of 3 series of exercises, which was very close to the test
questions. You can pass the exam if you do the exercise carefully. Just find a
reliable institution. Don't worry too much.
Netizen Analysis 5:
The pass rate of PMP Examination in
China is generally higher than that in the world, which is about 60%. The pass
rate after general training can reach more than 90%. The time of PMP Training
is short, and the review time is also not enough. It is easy to get tired after
a long time, so the time of general PMP Training is about 3 months. Therefore,
systematic training will be carried out three months before the PMP Examination,
so that the Chinese and English registration of the PMP Examination will also
be assisted by professional teachers.
