PMI does not release any info as far as a passing grade goes, but we know it is 180 instead of 200 questions and the same number of questions is being scored as in the previous version so that would mean 175 of those 180 count towards your actual score.

The Exam Content Outline tells us there are 42% people oriented questions, 50% process, and 8% business so if you multiply those percentages by the 180 total questions you'd know how many will come from each domain.

And there's no time per section - it is a four hour exam similar to the previous one. You can get more info here: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/project...mp-exam-updates

This is truly is an issue, Kiron has wonderfully and comprehensively responded to questions on PMP exams score and pass rates. I hope PMI will see this and provide ample info on these issues

The exam is 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Questions may not be equally weighted.

The three parts of the exam have mixed agile, predictive, hybrid, people, process, business questions and are not rigidly timed.

For example, one could spend two hours on one section. They’d have to make up for it by being quicker on other sections in order to finish all 180 questions.
