Exam
The PMI-RMP Certification Exam consists of 170 multiple-choice scenario-based questions. Out of the 170 questions, 20 are considered pretest questions. Pretest questions are used in examinations as an effective and acceptable technique to test the validity of future examination questions without affecting the score. All of the questions are distributed at random throughout the paper.
The time allotted to complete the computer-based exam is 3hrs 30 mins. It usually takes candidates less than that to complete the examination.
There are no scheduled breaks during the examination (although you can take one if needed.). The clock continues to count down.
