PMBOK 6 vs PMBOK 7 - studying for CAPM certification

Spring Huston

Hi everyone! I want to obtain my CAPM certification. I previously bought PMBOK 6 because I thought I would be challenging the exam shortly after. Life got in the way and I'm now at the point where I'm ready to commit to the exam.

But, now the 7th edition is out. The main difference between 6 & 7 seems to be that 6 was process-focused, while the new seventh edition is project team and outcome-focused. In terms of studying for CAPM do you think I can get away with using the 6th edition?

Spring, I suggest you study the PMBOK 7th edition in addition to the newly released Process Guide. A good additional resource that can help with your studies is Rita Mulcahy CAPM Exam Prep Book!
