Re: Re: NOVO PASSING SCORE DO EXAME DO PMP

Ivo e Colegas,

É importante frisar que o índice de aprovação continua o mesmo de
setembro - conforme apontou o Ricardo Viana Vargas, ou seja, a prova
(pelo menos teoricamente) não ficou nem mais fácil e nem mais difícil
que a prova relativa ao pmbok segunda edição.
