Hello, I am planning to take the PMP exam on February 2021, Does anybody knows if the PMBOK will have any changes? I am using the 6th edition. And also, which of the following books is the best PMP Exam Prep? Rita Mulchay's or Andy Crowe? Thanks!

Yanitza -

I don't believe any third-party prep resource provider has books or materials which are ready for the January 2, 2021 exam - they are all focused on the current exam.

PMI themselves does have a prep course for the new exam here: https://www.pmi.org/learning/courses/pmi-a...d-pmp-exam-prep

The PMBOK Guide, Seventh Edition is expected to be released in early 2021 but there are not expected to be changes to the PMP exam based on its launch.

As you can see from the reference list here (https://www.pmi.org/certifications/types/p...reference-list) the new exam is still based on the PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition.

Marcus,

I am not sure about this (PMBoK Guide 7 use in 2021 exam). What is sure is that from January 2021, the new Exam Content Outline (ECO) will be used. I am also not sure, if any exam prep books available today reflect on the new exam today.

Yanitza,

I recommend to consider taking the exam this year. Then you can use PMBoK 6, the old ECO and today's Prep material like Rita or Andy. Make sure you have good mockup exams.

I agree with Kiron’s feedback. The exam is changing in January but won’t necessarily be based on the 7th edition as it most probably won’t be released by then.

If you can do the exam before Jan, that would be much better from my point of view.
