Hi,

For the new PMP 2021 exam I have a few questions regarding giving the exam in online mode (through remote proctoring).
1. Is there an onscreen calculator that is provided? Or do we need to keep an actual calculator with us during the exam
2. Are we allowed to keep any paper and pen for any calculations?

Thanks
S.

As per https://www.pmi.org/certifications/certifi...ctored-testing:

"During the online exam session, you are not allowed to use exam-specific materials and are not permitted to use scratch paper, erasable whiteboards, a calculator, or any other physical writing objects such as a pen, marker, or pencil.

Instead, the exam has a built-in calculator feature. Whether you are taking the exam online or at a testing center, you will have access to the built-in calculator. You can access it by clicking on calculator icon in the exam screen.

For the online exam, you will also be able to access a built-in whiteboard while taking your online proctored exam. This feature gives candidates the choice to work through items visually by entering notes or drawing shapes. You can access it anytime during the exam by clicking the eraser icon at the top of the screen. You can learn more about this feature here .

Please note, during your online exam, you can access both the built-in whiteboard and calculator at the same time to perform notes and calculations."
