Frequently Asked Questions About PMP Practice Exams

You've found it right here. Our free PMP practice test is fully updated for the 2026 exam format, covering the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition and the current Exam Content Outline. It includes 25 realistic situational questions complete with detailed explanations and references to PMI standards, covering all the question types you'll face on the actual exam.
Yes, the PMP is widely considered one of the toughest professional exams out there. It tests your situational logic based on the Exam Content Outline (ECO) rather than just straightforward memorization. Reading the PMBOK® Guide and Agile Practice Guide isn't enough—you need realistic, scenario-based practice to bridge the gap and pass on your first try.
For 2026, the exam fee is $405 for PMI members and $555 for non-members. We highly recommend paying the PMI membership fee first. This lowers your total exam cost and gives you free access to the digital PMBOK® Guide, saving you money overall.
Yes, you can take it online from your home or office 24/7 using Pearson VUE's OnVUE remote proctoring system. Alternatively, you can take it in person at any authorized Pearson VUE test center. Our practice exam simulates the real testing environment to prepare you for either option.
You'll face 180 questions and have 230 minutes (nearly 4 hours) to complete them. The test includes a mix of multiple-choice, multiple responses, matching, hotspot, and fill-in-the-blank questions.
PMI doesn't release an official passing score, but industry experts generally estimate it to be around 60-65%. The exam uses a sophisticated scoring algorithm that weights questions differently. To play it safe, our practice test uses a stricter 72% passing threshold to make sure you're truly ready for test day.
⚠️ IMPORTANT DEADLINE
The last day to take the current version of the PMP exam is July 8, 2026. Starting July 9, 2026, PMI is launching a new, updated PMP exam aligned with the PMBOK® Guide 8th Edition, which will feature revised domains and a greater focus on AI, sustainability, and value delivery.

If you're already preparing, we highly recommend scheduling your test before the July 8 deadline to take advantage of your current studying.

Most successful students spend about 2 to 3 months preparing, studying around 15 to 20 hours a week. You should thoroughly review the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition, the Agile Practice Guide (since agile makes up 50% of the exam), and PMI's Exam Content Outline (ECO). Combine that reading with rigorous practice in our Ultimate PMP Exam Simulator to build confidence and identify knowledge gaps before test day.
