How soon do we get the PMP exam result?

Hello,

I did my exam on Friday the 19th and received the provisional score report. I was wondering will I still receive the official score and certificate within 48 hours or will there be a delay because it’s weekend time?

Thank you!

Based on various feedbacks, PMI has again changed the process and adjusted and optimized it.
There is still a delay in getting the results cause of the new security features implemented, but they were able to reduce that delay to a max of 48 hours/2 days.

Depends on the volume of completed exams (in person and online) which have to be verified. If it goes beyond 5 business days, contact PMI Customer Care.

Can someone help me understand why there is a new 5-day delay? The video from PMI says it is because there are people taking the tests for others, but I am not sure how waiting five days to score the exam will prove whether or not the actual candidate sat for the exam or not.

Yes, I am sure they will run some kind of algorithm to see if the test results are similar to other test results to try to identify if the same person took both, but since questions are not the same for every person I am not sure how this will help or even how it will be possible.

Perhaps a better way would be to use an online identify verification system like ID.me. It is good enough for the IRS, Social Security Administration, etc. to use it to identify people and the service is free for an individual to set up and it requires a selfie picture as well as pictures/scans from your documents (like your drivers license) and can compare them to validate it is you. I would assume that it includes technology to detect if multiple people register there with the same photo.

I recently read somewhere that now the results take upto 5 days. Is that correct?

What does pass/fail actually mean? I just received this message as I completed my PMP exam.
