JUST RELEASED BY PMI: JULY 19, 2011 5:29 PM ET

PMI has just announced to Registered Education Providers (REPs) that as of the PMP exam change date of August 31, 2011, students taking their computer-based PMP exam will NOT receive immediate test results.

In addition, the PMI PMP application will change to align with the updated role delineation study (RDS).

Did you know the PMP Exam was changing again next year? August 30th is the target date for the latest round of changes.

While the change that occurred last year was based on the updated PMBOK Guide, 4th Edition, the changes next summer are due to the project management role delineation study (RDS) that is conducted every five to seven years as part of PMI’s ISO 17024 requirements.

What does this mean for folks seeking PMP certification?
1. No changes to the education and experience requirements
2. Approximately 30% of the PMP® exam content will change
3. Certain areas of the examination will be tested differently. For example, Professional and Social Responsibility will now be tested in every domain (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing) versus having it tested as a stand-alone domain.

A common question that I get is regarding the scoring of the PMP exam.

Instead of getting a percentage correct in each domain, you will instead be graded: below proficient, moderately proficient, or proficient. These proficiency levels will be assigned in all six domains: initiating the project, planning the project, executing the project, monitoring and controlling the project, closing the project, and professional and social responsibility.

So you may be asking, "what do those proficiency levels mean?" Well that is a great question!

Below proficiency indicates that you need additional learning and application in this area. This is a great source from which to develop your continuing education (PDU) plan!

Moderate proficiency indicates that you have the "average" level of knowledge for practitioners in this area. I equate that to a "C".

I have been seeing more and more searches for this as of late and being that there is so much bad or incomplete information out there when searching for this I figured I would give everyone a thorough answer.

Let's take a look at a little bit of the history of the PMP® exam, the PMBOK® Guide, and the scoring of the exam.

The PMBOK® Guide 2000 was first released on 12/1/2000, The PMP® Exam was not based upon this release until 3/4/2002
At that time the PMI® published passing score was 68.5% (137/200)

The PMBOK® Guide 3rd Edition was first released on 10/31/2004, The PMP® Exam was not based upon this release until 9/30/2005
At that time PMI® had published that the passing score was changed to 80.6% (141/175)
