The CAPM exam is the official PMI exam behind PMI Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — passing it earns you the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification, a credential positioned at the Associate level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by PMI Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM). Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the Project Management Professional (PMP) and PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one PMI credential.

The CAPM exam presents 150 (135 scored, 15 unscored pretest items) questions to be completed within 180 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the ExamTorrent desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the CAPM exam you need Determined by psychometric analysis, not publicly disclosed, and the official registration fee is USD 225 (PMI members), USD 300 (non-members). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed ExamTorrent practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Secondary degree (high school diploma or equivalent); 23 hours of formal project management education completed before application Because PMI revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word.
