This course provides a comprehensive exam prep question guide to obtaining the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification, an entry-level credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
This set of practice tests is based on Exam Content Outline (ECO) published in 2023.

A high school diploma (or equivalent) or higher.
23 contact hours of project management education.
Completion of an online application on PMI within 90 days.
Applications are usually processed within 10-14 days.
Audits may occur randomly, requiring documentation of education and credentials.

Exam Format
Number of Questions: 150 (135 scored, 15 unscored pre-test questions).
Time: 3 hours.
Modes: Online or in-person testing center.
Online exams require continuous webcam visibility with no breaks.
In-person exams allow breaks, but the timer continues running.
Tools Provided: Testing centers provide a dry-erase whiteboard or sheets for notes.
Key Exam Content Areas
The exam is based on the 2023 Exam Content Outline (ECO) rather than a single book like the PMBOK® Guide. The ECO identifies the following four domains:
Fundamentals and Core Concepts (36%): Basics of project management, project management environment, and integration management.
Predictive Project Management (17%): Waterfall methodology.
Agile Methodologies (20%): Knowledge of frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and XP.
Business Analysis Frameworks (27%): Roles and processes in business analysis.
Study Resources
The PMBOK® Guide (7th edition) is a reference, not the sole study material.
Additional resources include:
PMI Standards+
Agile Practice Guide
Guide to Business Analysis
Other recognized project management titles.
Candidates are advised to download the 2023 Exam Content Outline (ECO) from PMI as the primary guide.
Exam Software
Features include forward/backward navigation, question marking, answer strikeout, and drag-and-drop.
Pre-exam tutorials are available for familiarization with the software.
Candidates must start the exam timer before using tools like a whiteboard.
Post-Exam Maintenance
Certification must be renewed every three years by earning 15 Professional Development Units (PDUs).
PDUs can be obtained through project management activities, attending local PMI chapters, or professional education.
Tips for Success
Submit your application promptly and schedule the exam without unnecessary delay.
Prepare thoroughly using diverse resources and focus on the ECO.
Practice positive mental attitude (PMA) and stay confident.
Celebrate your success after passing the exam and set new career goals, such as pursuing additional certifications like PMP® or ACP®.
Final Encouragement
Passing the CAPM is achievable with proper preparation and determination. Utilize PMI resources, engage with your local PMI chapter, and share your success story to inspire others. Always strive to Keep Moving Forward in your career journey.
