TEsting focus areas
Submitted by ThePretty on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 17:13
I last tried the exam a few days before the switch to the new test. Was curious what areas of focus is there now on the exam? I thought I read somewhere about stakeholders holding a lot of value in the test.

Exam change
Hi,
Yes. PMP there is a slight change in in the PMP pattern. The percentages for different domains have changed. There is slight change in Project Manager’s role as per the new Role Delineation Study (RDS).
You should look at following articles to understand the complete details.
1. What are PMP Exam Changes for January 2016?
2. Frequently Asked Question on Change in PMP Exam
The pattern change happened in January 2016. But it should not bother an aspirant now. You just need to study the new study material and ignore the old material.
However, even if you have old study material then also you should not worry. The changes are small. You can study the old material along with the new RDS. Other option is to attend a formal training again - 6 Reasons To Do A PMP Training Again
Going forward a new PMBOK guide will be published in Q3, 2017 and exam will change in Q1, 2018 - When will PMBOK Guide 6th Edition be Published?
