This exam process was really hard and took dedication and determination to complete. But the pride felt after seeing above target in all areas made the sacrifices worth it

The constant improvement on the exam shows the body is paying attention to stakeholders. Pretty straightforward exam process.

Great website, easy to access and navigate and help with exam selection/payment/test-center-selection

My experience with PMI's testing accommodation process revealed significant gaps between accommodation approval and its actual delivery through Pearson VUE.
I have a permanent visual disability and requested additional time, Zoomtext, additional breaks, and a handheld magnifier. PMI initially approved the extra time, no Zoomtext and additional breaks. I was told additional medical reports would be required, which would have meant another medical appointment and $175 in cost. However, after my first testing attempt failed, PMI later approved Zoomtext using the same medical documentation already on filed.
This inconsistency raised concerns about how PMI assesses and applies accommodation requirements.
A major problem was the information I received about the online exam. I booked it after being told that a standard zoom would be available while being able to use a handheld magnifier. During Pearson Vue's online check-in, the expected zoom was not available. I explained that I am legally blind and asked the proctor for assistance, but was unable to help. The interaction suggests that there was no clear process or guidance for responding to my accessibility needs in the online testing environment. As such, I ended up using my handheld magnifier to see different parts of the screen; I received warnings from the proctor, and my exam session was eventually revoked before I entered the actual exam.
What followed was a lengthy process of contacting PMI & Pearson Vue to understand what had happened and arrange another exam. I communicated with approximately 10 representatives through chat and repeatedly had to explain the situation. Different representatives appeared to have varying levels of understanding of the accommodation process and the information that applied to my situation. Some representatives told me I had to pay a cancellation fee before I could have my accommodations reassessed, when the onus of the issue falls on PMI.
Information between PMI & Pearson Vue did not always appear to align, and there was no consistent point of contact responsible for helping me navigate the issue.
There were also delays in scheduling my accommodated test center exam through Pearson Vue. These delays contributed to me missing the opportunity to test before the July 8th curriculum change, which meant learning new material, additional study time, additional cost, and delay in completing my certification.
Before the rescheduled exam, I contacted the testing centre several times to ensure my accommodations would actually be available. I spoke with five staff members just to confirm use of my handheld magnifier. There was also uncertainty about my breaks and no clear procedure or staff guidance for adjusting ZoomText.

At the testing centre, the check-in material was not accessible, the monitor was too far away and could not be moved closer, and staff could not assist with ZoomText adjustments and color changes. I completed the nine-hour exam relying heavily on my handheld magnifier, with only two 10-minute scheduled breaks, resulting in significant eye, neck, and shoulder pain.

I appreciate that PMI reassessed my request and approved ZoomText, but fall short to think the logics to consider the physical and mental ability to take a double-time exam without doubling the break time. Unfortunately, my experience showed that an accommodation approved on paper does not necessarily provide equitable access if it cannot be effectively delivered in the testing environment.

PMI & Pearson VUE should manage accommodations as one coordinated process. Before an exam is scheduled, they should confirm that approved accommodations can actually be delivered. Candidates should receive consistent information, staff should have clear procedures and accessibility training, and complex cases should have one point of contact rather than requiring candidates to repeatedly explain & verify their needs.

For permanent disabilities, PMI should also reconsider when new medical documentation is necessary. Once a permanent disability and functional limitations are documented, candidates should have a meaningful role in identifying reasonable assistive tools that meet their needs. They are the experts in understanding their own needs. This would reduce unnecessary medical appointments, costs, and administrative burden while maintaining the integrity of the accommodation process.
As companies committed to the triple bottom line, I hope PMI & Pearson will revisit their missions to look at accommodations as one end-to-end journey, not simply as individual requests that are approved. Professionals with disabilities should demonstrate their skills, not navigate accessibility gaps.

Great guidance for a remote procured experience!

Detailed coverage of the concepts & practical meaning of PMP when used in the PMP Exam

Straightforward application process. Study material available are extremely relevant to the exam.

Excellent testing supplies and practices to help prepare

PMI Study Hall practice exams were difficult, but did provide extra needed preparation for the exam.

Overall experience was not that easy but you have enough time to go through your answers multiple times, and some answers are just straight forward .

The overall experience was great. The 35-hour course, along with the materials provided through PMI and the additional study materials from the course, gave me the information and foundation I needed to prepare for the exam.

One area I think could be improved is providing more practice tests and exam-style questions directly through PMI. I found that I needed to purchase an additional book to get more opportunities to practice and become comfortable with the types of questions I would encounter.

I also think PMI could create more opportunities for people who are studying for the exam at the same time to connect with one another. Having a way to find and connect with other individuals preparing for the exam, along with organized study groups or peer discussion forums, would be a valuable addition. It would provide an opportunity to share resources, discuss challenging concepts, and support one another throughout the preparation process.

Overall, I had a very positive experience, and I think adding more practice resources and opportunities to connect with other learners would make the experience even stronger.

It’s really interesting study material and enjoyable. I learned a lot about the project management.

Extremely useful Study Hall practice exams and practice questions because of the explanations for incorrect questions.

The test questions reflected real life scenarios and training on appropriate responses will help drive home the key messages and themes I learnt. As a professional whose career is shaped by project management, this opportunity to pause and reflect on my practice based on what I studied during this course, helped me gain a deeper understanding of my domain, and truly reflect and apply another lens.

Studying for and earning my credential with PMI was an exceptionally rewarding process. The application and review steps were straightforward and well-structured, and the official preparation tools—especially the practice exams and study hall modules—did an incredible job mirroring the actual test environment. Earning this certification has provided immense value and clarity for my day-to-day operational management work. Highly recommended for any serious project professional!

Excellent the 3 domains are superb

I found the overall PMP process very user-friendly, with strong support from both PMI and third-party providers. The PMP solution is well thought out, intentional, and clearly designed to develop effective project managers. The online resources and exam support were convenient, efficient, and effective, and the turnaround time for feedback was excellent.

Having completed an MBA and gained extensive project experience, I was genuinely surprised by how thoughtfully the PMP program is structured. I already knew many of the principles covered, but the PMP gave me a different perspective on management, leadership, and project management. The emphasis placed on these areas helped me better understand how they come together to make an effective project manager.

The exam itself was challenging, but in a positive way. The PMP is not a certification that is simply given to you, “you have to work for it”. By the end of the four-hour exam, I truly felt that I had earned it. Success requires knowledge of the principles and concepts, the right mindset, strong focus, speed, and effective time management.

My biggest takeaway is that preparation is essential. For anyone planning to pursue the PMP, do not underestimate the exam. Be prepared to put in the work and push yourself during the exam. The certification is demanding, but the learning experience and the perspective it provides make the effort worthwhile

The instructions were clear and the whole experience was great.

Great set up. Great artifacts to leverage and study. Overall great follow up and user experience.

Studying for the PMP exam improved my understanding of project management concepts and gave me more confidence in my ability to deliver projects and coach other project professionals.
