How to Take Your PMP Exam

We at PMPerfect received multiple questions this weekend from users who want to know how they can register to take the real PMP Exam. Naturally, since we offer PMP practice exam services, we have a good idea of the best way to sit for these exams in "real life".

For those of you who have been doing self-study and measuring your performance via practice test runs, Prometric allows you to self register for the PMP Exam once you've been approved by PMI. So make sure you apply and submit your application to PMI well in advance. To get the most from PMI's fees, it will make sense to simply become a member, as you'll receive a discount on the exam. You will then visit the testing center and take the PMP Exam via a monitored desktop computer.

Other folks may decide that a multi-day course is the way to go for their PMP certificate. Some courses will offer an in-class PMP Exam with a live proctor. Those of you who take an in-person course may also opt to take the Prometric exam as well.

What about for PMP certifications past that of the PMP certification? CAPM certifications are offered by accredited course providers, and for Program Managers in a given field. Good luck, and please remember to visit PMPerfect for your PMP test prep needs!
