It depends how confident you are in your preparation. If you think that you are ready than I would say go for it.
Good luck Eric for the exam.

If you feel you are ready (only you know) then do it based on PMBOK v5 deadline March 26th.

I agree with Kiron on this.
If you are ready and the time slot is available go for it before March 28th.

Bemidale,

Previous comments and other discussions seem a consensus.

If you are ready before and can have an exam time, go for it. Available prep information are available and validated over time.

If that is not realistic, I would not go for the first weeks/months. Prep information would have adjusted.

Bemidale,

I agree with the comments made already. If you have already been studying for the exam and have been passing the practice exams, take the exam before March 28th.

I am in a similar position. I am facing this question for my planned attempt at the PMI-ACP (which is also undergoing similar changes).

I personally have constraints which will not allow me to adequately prepare for the exam in the next 3 months - therefore I am forced to consider sitting for it after July.

If I did not have the constraints, I would have chosen to appear for the exam before March 26.

All the best Bemidele, in any case, for your attempt!

Dear Nhlanhla Nxumalo,

The matter is not about advantages from one version to other but the content of the exam.
Example: In current version a K.A is called TIME MANAGEMENT after March will be called SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT and another K.A is called no STAKEHOLDERS MANAGEMENT After March will be called STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT, etc. Same with some inputs tools and techniques and outputs.
And there is an Agile influence coming.

That why is preferable for everyone Who prepared and ready within current PMBOK GUIDE 5th edition to write the exam before March 28.

After this date , I will advised to follow Kiron's suggestions.

Bert regards from Angola.
