PMP® Exam Question Development
The development of PMP® exam questions mainly involves the following three aspects:
①Each question in the exam is written by a PMP® certified expert. The certified expert also needs to provide an academic document as a reference source, which will be reviewed by another PMP® certified expert and provide a second reference source . Therefore, the topic design of PMP® is not blind, and the overall test questions reflect the real working situation of project managers in different industries.
②The development of PMP® test questions should be based on the fields and tasks formulated by ECO, and the question maker is not required to strictly refer to textbooks.
③ What PMI wants to emphasize is that the development of test questions is based on the overall specification of the ECO exam syllabus. The purpose is to measure whether the project manager has sufficient professional elements in the current actual work, rather than to check whether the project manager is familiar with the teaching materials.

PMP® Exam References
①PMP® Exam Questions
The design of the current PMP® exam questions focuses more on the application level, rather than simple mechanical memorization. The core idea of the investigation is: in a similar application scenario, if you were the project manager, what would you do?
②PMP® Teaching Materials
PMBOK® Guide 7 will officially become one of the reference documents in the exam in August this year. This also requires candidates to focus more on understanding and learning concepts such as areas and tasks listed by ECO. Use a range of references to understand the individual drivers and learn from working examples relevant to the task for practical application-oriented learning.

PMP® Textbook Changes
The old textbooks are relatively dogmatic, and the content is relatively blunt. The new version of the textbook has shifted to focus on principled content, which is generally applicable and is not affected by the type of project or delivery method. The ever-changing and progressive environment requires us to keep pace with the times and constantly update the project management content in line with the current practical work.
