Additional information regarding
the PMP(r) Examination
30 November 2005
As we have previously informed you, PMI has been actively collecting test
scores and results on each question of the new Project Management
Professional (PMP(r)) exam from over 800 candidates since its release on 30
September 2005. Now that PMI has captured sufficient data, we can perform a
psychometric analysis that is statistically reliable from which to make
conclusions about the performance of questions as well as candidate
performance.
Before offering the new examination, PMI assembled a group of volunteers to
help establish the passing score. Using a method known as the "Modified
Angoff Technique" (a proven exam development method), a group of global PMPs
in the summer of 2005 assessed each test question and independently
evaluated the questions to determine their difficulty level. Their responses
were then sent to PMI's psychometric (exam development) experts and
averaged. From that information, PMI's psychometricians recommended that PMI
adopt a passing point of 81 percent (141 correct questions).
After the examination was introduced, PMI monitored candidate performance to
verify the validity of the passing score. In addition to its analysis of the
actual test results from over 800 candidates, PMI sought review by an
additional volunteer team. After performing a statistical analysis of the
additional data, PMI and its independent psychometricians were able to make
conclusions about the performance of questions as well as candidate
performance. This second review, initiated by PMI as part of standard exam
development procedure, indicated that the passing score should be adjusted.
Accordingly, PMI revised the passing score for the exam to *61 percent (106
correct questions).* PMI then applied the new passing score to all
examinations taken since 30 September 2005 by candidates who sat for the new
exam. PMI is in the process of updating the candidates' records.
While we remain extremely sensitive to candidate and trainer concerns about
such a change in the passing score, these considerations must be weighed in
context of the overall purpose of the exam: to provide a consistent global
standard that all practitioners must meet to ensure the credential is
awarded to qualified individuals. We need to ensure that candidates who do
not meet the knowledge and experience criteria do not receive the credential
but more importantly, we do not want candidates that are qualified to be
prevented from receiving the credential because the exam presents such a
strenuous challenge to the test taker.
The steps PMI is taking include:

- Candidates who were not successful on the new exam have had their
test re-scored using the adjusted passing score.
- Where the result of this review determined that the candidate's
score is above the adjusted passing score, he or she is awarded the
credential and notified through a communication.
- Candidates who were granted the PMP Credential will be mailed their
new PMP packages and will have their names added to the online PMP registry
within 8 weeks.
- Candidates who still have a failing grade after having their test
re-scored are advised through a communication and are encouraged to re-take
the test.
- Candidates, regardless of whether they have passed or failed,
received a communication from PMI advising them of their revised status.
- Prometric has taken steps to adjust the passing score so that
candidates who are scheduled to test will be scored against the revised
passing score. The complete global deployment of the change in passing score
at all Prometric sites will take place between 15 December and 30 December.
- Candidates testing between now and the December deployment will have
their test score evaluated by PMI and will receive a communication as
outlined above.
