Hello, My exam is in 11 days.

I would like to ask someone who has already taken the exam this year (2020). How much is the Agile practice guide essential for the exam? I have read the PMBOK guide and Rita Mulcahy's PMP exam prep book and I am now practicing exam questions. However, I haven't read the agile practice guide yet. So I would like to know how much should I focus on it? or should I just skim through it?

Your input is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Of the PMP questions, I had maybe 5-7 Agile questions that I can recall. The PMP test is focused on this criteria. Please see the link here.

I've polled a few of my PMP prep students who took the PMP exam this year and most of them indicated it was fewer than six.

To be safe, I'd skim over the Agile Practice Guide, but I wouldn't expect you to get too many questions based on that.

Hi Maya,

I think a had a bit more than 5-7 questions as mentionned above by other participants. My answer depends on where you are now in your exam preparation (also please look at my comment on your question about mock exams). If you feel that you have mastered the PMBOK guide I would advise you to take some time for the agile practice guide, certainly if you would otherwise use this time to take the seventh, eight, .... mock exam.

Good luck!

Kenneth
