Myths about PMP® Exam Aspirants need 35 PDUs to apply for the PMP® exam

» Contact hours are required to apply for the PMP® exam and PDUs are required to maintain the PMP®credential once you clear the PMP® exam

» The minimum score needed to pass is determined by the overall difficultly of your individual exam

Passing score for PMP® exam is 61%

» There is no documented set marks or percentages to pass the PMP® exam

» From November 2005 onwards, PMI® stopped publishing the passing percentage and adopted psychometricanalysis to calculate the passing score hence this assumption is not valid anymore

You must memorize the Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs (ITTOs)

» There are more than 500 ITTOs in The PMBOK® Guide and to the key is to fully understand the concepts ofeach process not the memorization of the ITTOs

» Most of the questions relate to how or why a specific ITTO is used in a process and memorization will be ofno use to you when answering those types of questions
