Instructions for Taking the Exam
Preparation:
- Find a quiet place without distractions to simulate real exam conditions.
- Ensure a stable internet connection.
- Have a basic calculator, paper, and pencil available for calculations (e.g., PERT, schedule variance), though not required.
- Monitor the clock to manage your time: you have an average of 1.2 minutes per question.
During the Exam:
Read carefully: Each question has 4 options. Select the best answer according to PMI® principles.
Manage your time: Don’t spend too long on a single question. If unsure, mark it and return later if time allows.
Answer all questions: There is no penalty for incorrect answers, so complete all questions.
Follow the format: Questions are displayed one by one. Use navigation buttons (next, previous) if available.
Stay calm: This is a practice simulation. Use any mistakes as learning opportunities.
Post-Exam:
Review your answers: After finishing, check the detailed explanations provided for each question. These include:
- Justification of the correct answer.
- Specific references to PMBOK® 6, PMBOK® 7, or the Agile Guide® (chapter, section, page).
- Analyze your performance: Identify improvement areas (e.g., risks, Agile) to focus your study.
- Take notes: Record key concepts or topics you need to reinforce before the real exam.
Tips for Success
Simulate the real environment: Try to complete the exam in a single session, without long breaks, to practice endurance.
Study the explanations: Even if you answer correctly, read the feedback to consolidate your knowledge.
Repeat if necessary: If you do not reach 80%, review weak areas and retake the simulation after studying.
Trust yourself: This simulation is designed to reflect the difficulty and style of the CAPM® exam, so good performance here is a strong indicator of your readiness.
Final Notes
Integrity: Answer without consulting external materials to assess your true knowledge.
Technical support: If using an online platform and encountering issues, contact the site’s support or exam administrator.
Study materials: Although the simulation includes explanations, keep the PMBOK® or Agile Guide® handy to deepen your understanding after the exam.
