Preparing for the Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP)® exam requires both conceptual clarity and situational thinking. Here are proven habits to strengthen your readiness:
The PfMP® exam is administered through Pearson VUE testing centers worldwide.
The PfMP exam has 170 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 4 hours. There are no scheduled breaks, but you may take unscheduled ones (the clock keeps running).
The test is computer-based. You’ll see one question at a time, with options to mark questions for review, navigate back and forth, and submit when ready.
No. Books, notes, electronic devices, and scratch paper are not permitted. The testing center provides an erasable noteboard and marker for rough work.
Arrive at least 30 minutes early. If you are late beyond the grace period usually 30 min, you may be denied entry and will forfeit your exam fee.
Raise your hand to notify the proctor immediately. Pearson VUE staff are trained to resolve issues, and PMI will be notified if rescheduling is required.
Your pass/fail result is shown immediately on the screen after you submit the exam. You’ll also get a printed report with domain-wise proficiency levels.
Yes, through your Pearson VUE account. You must reschedule at least 48 hours before your appointment. Fees may apply depending on timing.
You have up to three attempts in a 12-month eligibility period. Each retake requires paying the exam retake fee. (Tip: This is why most candidates prefer structured prep programs to minimize retakes!)
