Felipe, there will be one but everything is still under development and I believe will be released in the new year. For now the exam is online, based on the course, and follows the old format. Saving Changes...
Where can I find information about the exam content/ areas of focus?
I have finished the course modules, and I am planning my study strategy for the exam. Saving Changes...
I just started the course and I was wondering the same thing whether there were any documents that one could use as study material for the exam besides the videos.
Turns out there are some documents, but it's not intuitive how to find them.
When you are watching one of the videos, go to the click on the burger menu (three lines) in the top right corner, and from there go to Resources. Voila, a whole list of documents to download.
I haven't gone through them yet, so I can't speak to their quality.
Has anyone found a good test bank for the PMO-CP Exam prep? I tried Udemy, but some of them seem questionable in my mind - some of the questions are worded badly (maybe it's just me...) Let me know. Thanks Saving Changes...

You can purchase the course and the exam through PMI's website. The current exam is 40 questions and it is course based but this will change in the new year.

I have mixed feelings about the course.
The course material is a total of roughly 10 pdfs which I had to combine into a single one to get something like a comprehensive textbook (~110 pages). I read that alongside watching the videos while writing my own summary. After I was done, I rehearsed mostly my 20 page summary and I was able to pass the exam confidently.
I found the quality of the video material to be average. It's a bit ironic that the lecturer constantly preaches the importance of 'Perception of Value' while recording a lecture for a $600 course from his home office on a mediocre webcam.
PMI apparently has an Android app where someone left a review highlighting a similar irony. It seems like the Android app is full of bugs and doesn't work well. You would think the PMI has a better strategy for rolling out such products. The same is true for the course platform on PMI's homepage. I couldn't get it to record my progress until one day I decided to click through the videos in reverse order. Only then did I finally get the notification that I completed the course.
The best thing about the course is the PMI Value Ring tool. It seems to be a valuable tool in applying the principles tought in the course and the tool is free, which surprised me a bit.
If you are indeed planning to establish or re-establish your company's PMO it's a valuable course. Otherwise, I think you're paying $600 mostly to be able to slap the certificate onto your CV in the end.

How long do you have for the 40 question exam from Pearson? Nothing states total time for the exam and I have to plan it into my schedule before I commit to taking it

You have 1 hour to complete 40 questions.
One hour is more than enough
