Richard Cedars Project Manager| Alpha Mechanical Contracting Ltd Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada
I am in pursuit of my PMP and have a plan to write the exam Q3/4 2021. My understanding is that I will be writing the "new" exam.

Are the current study guides and materials (mainly referencing the PMBOK 6th ed.) still applicable or can someone point me in the direction of revised study materials.

When will the PMBOK 7th ed. be available to PMI members?

Seems that I am working towards my PMP certification in midst of a transition and would like to make sure that I am best prepared for the exam.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

the new exam is based on the Sixth Edition of the PMBOK Guide along with a number of other references including those listed here: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/types/p...-reference-list

As far as I know, no 3rd party provider has released any materials for the new exam.

I agree with Kiron. There are no 3rd party material nor simulation exams. It will be sometime before it develops after the new exam is launched.

Thank you for your response. I figure my best path will consist of PMBOK review through Q2 of 2021, then see what 3rd party resources become available and go from there.

Thanks again!

Our new course for the 2021 PMP Exam has been ready for a while with a final mock exam. If you are interested, contact me. Here is an excerpt. https://youtu.be/eLvRs3YycaM - It maps very tightly back to the New Exam content outline with a strong Agile & Leadership focus. It is not by knowledge area or process group. You can get on it today if you want.
