14. Myths about PMP® Exam
Slide 15
http://www.edureka.co/pmpPMP®,, ACP® and PMBOK® are registered trademarks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
 Aspirants need 35 PDUs to apply for the PMP® exam
» Contact hours are required to apply for the PMP® exam and PDUs are required to maintain the PMP®
credential once you clear the PMP® exam
» The minimum score needed to pass is determined by the overall difficultly of your individual exam
 Passing score for PMP® exam is 61%
» There is no documented set marks or percentages to pass the PMP® exam
» From November 2005 onwards, PMI® stopped publishing the passing percentage and adopted psychometric
analysis to calculate the passing score hence this assumption is not valid anymore
 You must memorize the Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs (ITTOs)
» There are more than 500 ITTOs in The PMBOK® Guide and to the key is to fully understand the concepts of
each process not the memorization of the ITTOs
» Most of the questions relate to how or why a specific ITTO is used in a process and memorization will be of
no use to you when answering those types of questions
