About this practice test
The Project Management Professional (PMP) is the project-management world's most widely recognized credential. Issued by the Project Management Institute (PMI), it validates your ability to lead projects across any industry, methodology (predictive, agile, hybrid), or size — from a 3-month software release to a multi-year infrastructure programme.
This practice test gives you 250 scenario-style multiple-choice questions with detailed, multi-sentence explanations. The bank follows the current PMP Examination Content Outline (ECO) with the same domain weighting you'll see on test day — People 42%, Process 50%, Business Environment 8% — and a balanced mix of predictive (waterfall) and agile / hybrid scenarios reflecting the ~50/50 split PMI publishes.
What the PMP exam covers
- Domain I — People (42%) — managing conflict, leading a team, supporting team performance, empowering team members, ensuring training, building a team, addressing impediments, negotiating agreements, collaborating with stakeholders, building shared understanding, engaging virtual teams, defining ground rules, mentoring, and applying emotional intelligence.
- Domain II — Process (50%) — executing for business value; managing communications and stakeholders; assessing and managing risks; planning and managing budget, schedule, quality, scope, and changes; integrating planning activities; managing procurement and artifacts; determining methodology; establishing governance; managing issues; ensuring knowledge transfer; and planning project / phase closure.
- Domain III — Business Environment (8%) — planning and managing project compliance; evaluating and delivering benefits; assessing changes in the external business environment; and supporting organizational change.
Predictive, agile and hybrid — covered together
Modern PMP exams blend predictive (waterfall — WBS, CPM, EVM, change-control board) with agile and hybrid (product backlog, story points, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, servant leadership, sprint goals). Every situational question is framed as something a working PM would actually face, with the answer that aligns with the PMBOK Guide 7th edition's twelve principles and the Agile Practice Guide.
Exam format on PMI
The live PMP exam has 180 questions to be completed in 230 minutes (3 hours 50 minutes), with two scheduled 10-minute breaks. Questions are multiple choice, multiple response, matching, hotspot, and limited fill-in-the-blank. There is no published passing score; PMI uses a psychometric process across the three domains. Recertification requires 60 PDUs every 3 years.
Who should take this?
Working project managers, programme managers, scrum masters, agile coaches, business analysts who lead projects, technical leads transitioning to PM roles, and anyone preparing for the live PMP exam. PMI's eligibility requires either (a) a four-year degree plus 36 months of leading projects in the last 8 years, or (b) a high-school diploma / associate degree plus 60 months of leading projects, plus 35 contact hours of formal project-management education. Our 250-question bank is the practice layer of preparation — pair it with the PMBOK Guide 7th edition and the Agile Practice Guide as primary study material.
