- Number of questions- 120 (100 Scored questions and 20 Unscored questions)
- Passing marks- Until late 2005 PMI disclosed the pass percentage. But since then PMI has scored the exam differently and now there is no one examination score for everyone. PMI scores each exam differently and a passing score for one exam may be different from the other.
Moreover, PMI doesn’t publish the exam score as it used to and only provides an exam summary report detailing the ‘proficiency level’ for each of the domains (i.e. Proficient, Moderately Proficient and Below Proficient).
