Hi Faraz, I had a similar question as I'm looking to do the CAPM, what I've been told is that the new exam will focus more on "principles" rather then processes.

My understanding is that they want new PMs to be adaptable in the sense that some projects are better suited for agile methodology and others are better suited for waterfall methodology my guess is it will be a hybrid of both but I'd e-mail PMI directly to confirm.

Cheers

Hi Faraz - only the PMP exam format changed, the CAPM exam remains the same as 2020.

I am looking for guideline or regulation about disclosing Pass or fail or contents of exam. DO anyone share the link?
Keeping the guideline, I would like to share my experience.

Here's an excerpt from the PMP Handbook covering this: "Among other things, this document addresses post-examination questions and discussions. It states: “…Furthermore, I agree not to discuss, debrief or disclose, in any manner, the specific content of PMI examination questions and answers, to any individual.”
Any such discussion would be a potential violation of the Certification Application/Renewal Agreement and thus, could affect the status of your certification, up to and including revocation of your certification or permanent suspension from any PMI certification examinations."

As such while you can share general info such as how many questions were of a certain type, you cannot provide specifics about individual questions.
