Is the CAPM exam remained the same ie process as in 6th edition or it has changed to the same new version as the PMP exam ie Domain, Task and Enabler?

Hi Lilian,

To my knowledge, the CAPM exam has remained the same and the only changes made were to the PMP.

However, as of October 1, 2020, PMI has changed the recertification process from retesting every 5 years to having to maintain 15 PDUs every 3 years.

Hope this helps a little!

I agree with Channez, I haven’t heard of any changes to the CAPM exam.

Hi - I just took the CAPM this morning, and from what I could tell, it is based on the 6th edition.

The exam questions were much different than those on the practice exam given through PMI. They were worded much differently, and in my opinion, were a little trickier. Study as much as you can, take as many practice exams as you can, and you should do fine. Good luck!

Lilian, I used the Project Management Basics Course offered through PMI, which includes a practice exam. I also used the Pocket Prep app on my phone, which gives you some sample questions to practice with. Study the PMBOK 6th edition as much as possible, and really know the Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs. Hope that helps!

There were a few questions using calculations, but not many. They were easy to solve in my head if you know the formulas.

Any tips on best study tools for calculation questions for cost management? The pmbok guide isn’t the best and I skipped a lot of the diagrams in cost management chapter because I could not digest them / decipher the diagram to understand the theory. The table with the formula is too “dry” . I worry not being able to use calculator or write on paper via the online proctor, I will just have a brain freeze
