RE: Re: NOVO PASSING SCORE DO EXAME DO PMP

Errata. Realmente o valor agora é de 106 em 175. 61% e é menor que o antigo. 
Abraços.

Subject: [SIG-PMBOK-BR] Re: NOVO PASSING SCORE DO EXAME DO PMP

Ricardo e colegas,

Só uma retificação: o novo percentual anunciado NÃO é o mesmo do exame 
anterior, que era de 68,5% (137 acertos em 200 questões). E um ponto 
interessante é que este novo percentual ficou ABAIXO do exigido para o exame 
CAPM, que é de 65%.

Além disto, este anúncio está gerando grande confusão, pois até o momento não 
apareceu no site do PMI, estou supondo que por enquanto foi enviado apenas aos 
REPs.

Até breve,

Ivo M. Michalick Vasconcelos, MSc, PMP

> 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®) 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. 
> PMI understands that the changes to the exam and its passing score
raise numerous questions. We invite you to attend a Webinar scheduled for 1 
December 2005 to learn more about the process. 
> 
> We thank you for your support and understanding of the process
that PMI follows. PMI recognizes the importance of the credential and the 
challenges that a pass/fail classification has on the examination preparation 
effort by candidates and their trainers. If you have any questions regarding 
this communication, please contact examquestions@xxxx
