Project Management

Best way to study for the CAPM exam

maggie ferry Chicago, Il, United States

Hello all! What is the best way to prepare to take the CAPM exam? So far I have gone through the whole Project Management Basics Course and keep failing the practice test. I have started making my own flash cards but the content is LONG so that is taking me forever. What worked for you?

I recently attempted the CAPM exam for the first time on January 25, 2025, but unfortunately, I did not pass. I found that using PMI mock exams was not effective for CAPM preparation and felt it was a poor investment. Could you please suggest alternative and more effective methods to successfully pass the CAPM on my second attempt? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I highly recommend the following:

1) Go through the PMI Guide.
2) Purchase and Study Rita Mulcahy CAPM Exam Prep Book.
3) Do simulation exams. A good resource for this is PM Prep Cast.

In my opinion, the course alone won't be enough to prepare you for the exam.

Maggie,
I agree with Rami K.
