I studied for PMP exam but was unable to schedule for it last month since Pearson Vue did not have available openings at that time. I don't want to go through "ALL" the material that I studied for the old version of the Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification exam. Question: What topics (material) can be skipped from the old version, so I can spend that time for studying the new topics (material) for the new version?

Go over the new ECO outline for 2021 Exam and there is a Crossover map that maps to the sections of the 6th PMBOK. Also read the Agile Practice Guide.

Veroneque,
Are you referring to this document: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/...b7-b7abb326a9a0

Could you please clarify? In the above document, the last column is named "Alignment to the Old ECO". The section numbers in that column are referring to which sections in the 6th PMBOK? For example, the number "3.1" in the last column of the first row of the above document table refers to which section of PMBOK? Thank you.

Those links only tell what new is included. It does not tell what to skip from the old exam material. I am interested in knowing what can be skipped from the old exam material and devote that time for studying the new material included for the new exam. I am one of those unlucky ones who could not get a seat for the exam last month because too many candidates were registering to take the old exam last month.

My advise is don’t skip anything. The fundamentals of project management never changed, neither did the concepts, it is just the exam changing.
