Has anyone taken the new test that can provide advice?
Anonymous
Hi, community! Hope all is well. Happy New Years. I have recently taken the previous exam on 31 December 2020, and unfortunately did not pass. I have used Plural Sight and Kaplan to prepare for the exam, and still did not successfully pass. I have recently purchased 'Head First PMP: A Brain-Friendly Guide 4th Edition.' Does anyone have any advice on how to successfully prepare for the new exam? NOT looking for answers or anything. Just what I can add to my arsenals for studying for the new 2021 exam. Thoughts? Saving Changes...
was keen to understanding the new format too, thought wonder how people prepare for exam for those as attending the exam from 2 Jan... since PMI claimed only 50% of the syllabus applicable from the existing 6th edition PMBok?!
I studied the paper version of PMBOK 6th edition. Now I am working on simulated tests. I opened up my online version of 6th edition from PMI for easy access and it now seems to have an ADDITIONAL 167 pages after the last page of the original 6th edition titled Agile Practice Guide. Their contact center had advised there was NO content change for this exam however this appears to be incorrect.

The Agile Practice Guide was bundled with the PMBOK Sixth Edition when you do the soft-copy download as they were released simultaneously. If you order hard copy versions they are separate references.
In the list of references for the new PMP exam, PMI lists both.

As I posted in a separate discussion thread in Certification Central, PMI is launching a free bridging online course starting mid-January to help you prepare for the new exam if your prior studying was focused on the previous one.

Good question Furqan - the web page does mention it is for folks planning to taking the new exam, but I've filled out the form to see if I get an invite by mid-January...

It looks like they have shut down registrations to the bridging course.... Saving Changes...
