- Domain weights moved to People 33%, Process 41% and Business Environment 26% (from 42%, 50% and 8%). Risk, change control, issues and governance now sit in Business Environment.
- The task list was rewritten as 26 tasks, with sustainability and AI among the trends PMI built into the job analysis.
- Exam time rose from 230 to 240 minutes, still for 180 questions.
- The exam now opens with a case-study section, and graphic-based questions are new. The first break follows the case-study section instead of a fixed question number.
Our questions are written to the July 2026 outline. PMI does not say how many cases the case-study section holds; our mock uses eight five-question cases.
Common questions
What is the format of the PMP exam in 2026?
Since July 9, 2026 the PMP exam has 180 questions (170 scored and 10 unscored pretest questions) and a 240-minute time limit, with two 10-minute breaks. It starts with a case-study section; the first break follows it and the second falls about midway through the independent questions.
What changed on the PMP exam in July 2026?
PMI released a new Examination Content Outline. The domain weights changed to People 33%, Process 41% and Business Environment 26% (from 42%, 50% and 8%), the task list was rewritten as 26 tasks, the time rose from 230 to 240 minutes, case-study and graphic-based questions were added, and the breaks now follow sections rather than fixed question numbers.
What is the passing score for the PMP exam?
PMI does not publish a passing score or percentage. Your score report shows whether you passed and a performance rating for each of the three domains. Use our domain and topic scores to see where to study, not as a prediction of a pass.
How many times can I take the PMP exam?
Up to three times within your one-year eligibility period. After three failed attempts you must wait one year from the last attempt before reapplying. If the year ends before you pass, you reapply without a waiting period.
Which question types can I practice here?
Single-answer multiple choice, multiple response (“select two”), matching (answered with a pull-down list for each row), graphic-based questions with tables and charts, and five-question case studies. Our simulator does not include point-and-click hotspot items or true drag-and-drop; matching uses pull-down lists instead.
Are these real PMP exam questions?
No. PMI does not release exam questions, and none of ours comes from PMI materials, the exam or another prep provider. Every question is original, written to the tasks of the July 2026 outline, and answered again blind, with the options reshuffled and the key hidden, before it was published.
Do I need 35 hours of training before the PMP exam?
Yes. Besides 36 to 60 months of experience leading projects (24 with a GAC-accredited degree), candidates need 35 hours of project management training aligned to the outline. An active CAPM certification meets the training requirement. PMI states that practice exams alone do not count as training.
What does the PMP pass include?
The PMP pass unlocks the full 180-question mock as often as you like (it draws unseen questions first) and unlimited drills for every domain, topic and the case studies. Every drill’s first attempt is free.
