Keep in mind these changes will apply to you if you are taking the exam on or after September 25, 2023.

[@fabioloyola4788]

But, if I decide to do the exam in the Center, I will still need to wait 5 days? Thanks.

[@zinebzitouni4801]

​@@fabioloyola4788same question!!!! Is it applicable for those who will take the exam in the center ?

[@obedience7641]

Hello again Andrew. I took my test AT THE CENTRE of course and passed. They didn’t give a score which they said I would get in about 5 days, however, they did tell me “congratulations you have met or exceeded all target areas”. It also explained that there would be a review process and that PMI would determine whether or not to make the results official.

[@zinebzitouni4801]

Just took my exam online on the 27th and received my results the next day. Hoping everyone will receive their results quickly.

[@magdalenadicks7373]

I passed my PMP with 3AT! I wrote it on Friday, September 29th. Your course on Udemy, specifically the mindset videos and process videos where you explained it by going through painting a room project, finally hit home for me. Thank you for your insightful lessons. I also wore blue 😏

[@priyanthakumarasinghewanni6588]

Congratulations !! Can you just give some useful guidance ? Because I'm here preparing for the exam within 3 months.

[@CameronEvolved]

Having to wait 5 days for the results of your exam is awful. They should at least tell you immediately if you provisionally passed or failed, and then they can give the official score later after they've finished their verification process.

[@Uchevet]

This makes sense. They can tell you if you passed or not while withholding the certificate till they verify your test.

[@keianagraham7014]

These were my exact thoughts.

[@Lilydeazevedo]

That’s right! Should we write to them and suggest it? 😂 Perhaps they can think about it. At least if you fail, they should say straight away. Imagine wait 5 days and knowing that you fail because of the score.

[@keianagraham7014]

@@Lilydeazevedo no clue I sit for mine in 2 weeks and then making this change makes one’s anxiety even worse but hey we’ll all be fine

[@vanesaallonca6514]

Thank you Andrew for sharing. I tried twice to take the exam at home and could never finish due to 'technical issues'. The second time I was in question 132 when the proctor told me he couldn't see me and he was "relaunching' my exam. And I could never go back. I'm done trying at home and will go to a tester center. Thank you for your videos and the knowledge you share!

[@eldridgekevinm]

I had issues at home and at the testing center. Either way is frustrating.

[@user-ig9we1mj9d]

Hi Andrew, I wrote on Oct 6th (Friday) and found out in just over 24 hours on Oct 7 (Sat). I didn't expect to hear back on the weekend but very glad I did! A pass with 3 AT. Thank you for your exam simulator as it was very helpful to prep!

[@AndrewRamdayal]

Congratulations and celebrate well 🎉

[@renewedmochamom6059]

Hi Andrew, I passed my PMP exam with AT in all 3 categories on the first try. Your book and videos are were extremely helpful in passing my exam. It as 95% scenario based with only 1 math question.😃 I took the test on Saturday afternoon and received the result on Sunday evening. Many Thanks!

[@mborn1324]

Same with the PMP application. I just filled out the application, got notification that I'll get an email within 5 days.... Also to note, the experience part for the application now requires 60months experience not 36 anymore (like in your course) Thanks Andrew, looking forward to studying some more and writing the exam soon!

[@Snottydotty]

Is that with a four-year degree? Their Website still shows 36 months experience with a 4-year degree, but 60 months without a degree.

[@mborn1324]

@@Snottydotty I have a 2 year degree, maybe that's why.

Hi Andrew! Thanks a lot! I took the exam last Saturday at home, and I passed AT. Results arrived quickly. Once again, thanks. Mindset people!

Got my official exam results thru email after 24 hours (3ATs). But they handed me a provisional score report (pass) immediately after I finished my exam at the testing center. Thanks AR for your Udemy course and Exam simulator!

[@riyasahamed5376]

Hi Neil, I got the provisional score report same like you. How many days it takes to get the confirmation from PMI officially ? Pls advice 😊.

[@ab-studio]

Hi Andrew, actually this news is good move from PMI to filter cheater. Happy to share that i wear all blue and passed the exam with overall AT. I also want to add on that i took the exam yesterday at the Pearson vue center, and this morning i already got the email from PMI that i passed. so i guess 5 days is the maximum. Good luck for everyone who will take the exam!

[@aliciaraye]

Wow. So glad I took mine beginning of September! I can’t imagine that anxiety carrying on for another 5 days 🥴😵‍💫

[@lastpme]

I took my exam at a test center. When I completed the test the screen stated I would find out my results within 24 to 48 hours. But, when I was getting my personal items out of the locker, the guy at the front desk handed me my preliminary results stating I passed the exam and got my official results the next day.

[@mamsliving]

Glad I took my exam earlier (1st September AT in all areas thanks to Andrew ) ….but having to wait 5 days is a lot. However I do get why they have to probably do this so people don’t cheat as well. It’s quite sad people choose to cheat instead of working hard to achieve it.

[@MartaWozniak-jc8ep]

Having worked as a PM at a major Canadian company that develops and administers exams in the healthcare industry, I can think of many reasons for this. I suppose it sucks not knowing right away, but if this makes the entire process more fair to the ones who give it their all, I fully support it! That's just good project management! BTW, I just started your course today and so far, I love it! Trying very hard to turn my brain into a blank slate. ;)

[@tomjohnson5068]

it is terrible that we are taking our exam on pmp that talks about stakeholder engagement and being stakeholders, we are not told anything. I contacted pmi and I was told that we would be told at the end of the exam and it will be announced on the 25th. I am just disappointed.

[@georgeawinbilla5249]

Finally! Someone says exactly what I was thinking. For an organisation that champions stakeholder engagement as crucial for project managers, this is truly contradictory

I took the exam yesterday Sept 22nd, 2023 and got a message congratulating me for passing but indicating that the final report was going to be delivered within 5 days following PMI's confirmation. It was a bit confusing as I was expecting to see a report so I reached out to the proctor who confirm that indeed I had passed. After a couple of hours I got an email with instructions on how to retrieve the test score from my PMI account. All domains AT thanks God but it was not so nerve racking as I just needed the confirmation of the score not the actual results of the exam.

[@sagarikavenkatesh4992]

Hi, How many pages does the new PMP book have?

I just took my exam from a testing center 5 hours ago. The centre handed me a provisional result that I passed. What is the likelihood this would change after PMI’s review? In any case, thank you Andrew for your Udemy videos. They really helped me a lot. And this was my first attempt.

[@richardakinyemi2553]

Hi Andrew, thank you for the information, however I am glad to inform you that I passed with 2 AT & 1T. I am glad I have crossed the river, your Udemy courses are great assets. Lest I forget, I failed the 1st time for not taking the trial questions seriously, I registered immediately and took it some 4 weeks later and BOOM! You are an asset....It is okay to fail, but don't give up. Try again! Thanks again Andrew

Honestly they can give it to us and make it pending to approval for 5 days. At least let us know where we stand. This should be for online takers only in my opinion. If I am getting my veins scanned I should be good.

[@georgeawinbilla5249]

There are only two approved test centers in my entire country, and both are located in one state. There are countries with no test centers permitted to run PMP, meaning you would literally have to travel to another country to write the exam. And PMI says "at your own cost"? Disappointing 🤔

[@prates_br]

Good question. Same doubt here!!!!

[@sivap.c]

Yes, changes are for both in Center and Online exams. Need to wait for 5 days to get the result 😒

[@charshavardhan]

@@sivap.c I doubt. They have not mentioned it explicitly. Not sure If you have seen the notification that authorized training partners have received about it, but they say that anyone who is suspected to be doing cheating, will be asked to go to the center and give the exam. What does it imply? They consider or "view" CBT as safe. Question : Consider a person choosing the exam in center as the first attempt. Will PMI ask the person to give it in the center again, if found suspicious? Not really. Doesn't make sense. Expect a revised clarification from PMI soon.

[@ashuthakral1]

Any update on your results yet..any msg on the screen post the exam or none at all asking to wait for 5 days and my understanding it’s 5 working days and if a weekend falls in between it’s like 7 days??

[@leroyjenkins8867]

Not sure how this is possible as you have to show your ID and must be in camera the entire time? Sounds like poor execution from the proctors.

[@muttoon]

Makes sense as long as it gives more credibility to the exam. Heard of quite a good number of stories especially from South Asia where test takers are hired for a few hundred bucks. The passing candidate then ends up 'earning' a PMP without the least knowledge about what a risk report, a project charter or a control chart all stand for.

[@rahulsen002]

This is great .. this way the real value of the exam will be retained .. blue shirts did damage pmp big time .. time to stop 😊😊

Same question from me @andrew.. please respond

[@trustbank1980]

It's perfectly fine, Sir. In academic exams, we are accustomed to waiting for results, and patience often yields fruitful outcomes.

[@hamzaaltaf3692]

ISO certifications exams (e.g. 9001, 14001,45001 etc) for lead auditors accredited by CQI-IRCA (UK Body) are conducted while recording the camera and mic. Result is announced after 10 days if IRCA found no malpractice during the exam by analysing that recording video and audio. So change in PMP exam result time isn’t a thing to worry.

[@iamsaffrontiger]

Hi Andrew. I just took my online exam and waiting for result. Unfortunately there was internet power cut for 15-20 mins and I had to relaunch PearsonVue simulator. Proctor called 2 times in between to check on what's going on. I explained the situation to her, and she asked to relaunch PearsonVue. Now I am worried, if this incident will be counted as some kind of violation during assessment and will PMI give me a failure.

[@hassnainiqbal8852]

Will internet connection interruptions will result in security breach and test jas to be given own cost.

[@destructo_atx]

Any steps that PMI can take to legitimize the test is a good thing. Ideally, you're investing a lot more than 5 days into the PMP prior to testing. If you care about the value of the credential, then this is a net positive for current and future PMP holders. With the advancements of AI and an obvious increase in the number of people "passing" by proxy, they should just move everything to a testing center, with exceptions given to those limited by regional access only.

[@dailyinfodude]

This is not good. Unnecessary wait time in this digital world.
