Talk to a learning advisor to get started.

    Do I need work experience to take the CAPM?

    Exam

    What does the CAPM exam cover?

    How many questions are on the CAPM exam and how long is it?

    Is there a fixed passing score for the CAPM?

    PMI does not publish a fixed pass mark. Your result is set through psychometric analysis, with performance reported across the four CAPM domains, so aim for broad mastery of all four rather than a single target number.

    What if I do not pass the CAPM the first time?

    You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our mock exams and trainer guidance are built to prepare you for a first-time pass, and we support you if you need to retake the exam.
