    What is the format of the PgMP exam?

    The PgMP exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination based on the PgMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition.

    What are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    Five domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%). Program Life Cycle Management carries the largest weight on the exam.

    What if I do not pass the exam on the first attempt?

    PMI allows up to 3 attempts within your one-year eligibility period. Our training and practice resources are designed to prepare you thoroughly, and our team can guide your revision between attempts. Reexamination fees apply to later attempts; confirm current amounts on the PMI store.
