- How many questions are on the PMI-ACP exam?
- The PMI-ACP exam has 120 multiple choice questions and you get 180 minutes, or 3 hours, to answer them, with one scheduled 10 minute break after question 60. Of the 120, 100 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest items PMI uses to trial future questions; they are not marked, so treat every question as if it counts. If your notes are on paper, run them through an OCR tool like DocuOCR first so the text is selectable before you upload.
- What is the passing score for the PMI-ACP exam?
- PMI does not publish a fixed passing score or percentage for the PMI-ACP. Your result is set through psychometric analysis and reported as pass or fail, with performance shown by domain as above target, target or below target. Because there is no official cut line, most candidates aim to score consistently around 75 percent or higher on quality practice questions across all four domains before booking, which gives a comfortable margin over the likely threshold.
- What does the PMI-ACP exam cover?
- The current PMI-ACP Examination Content Outline covers four domains: Mindset at about 28 percent, Leadership at about 25 percent, Product at about 19 percent, and Delivery at about 28 percent. The exam is framework agnostic and spans Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming and test driven development, so it tests your ability to choose and apply the right agile approach rather than memorize one method. Mindset and Delivery are the two heaviest domains and together make up more than half the exam.
- What are the requirements to take the PMI-ACP exam?
- To sit the PMI-ACP you need a secondary degree, meaning a high school diploma, GED or the global equivalent, plus documented experience working on agile project teams and 28 hours of agile practices training. The training requirement rose from 21 to 28 hours under the current outline. Unlike some credentials, PMI-ACP expects real agile team experience, not just coursework. Confirm the current eligibility rules on the PMI website before you apply.
- Is the PMI-ACP harder than the PMP?
- The two exams are different rather than one being simply harder. The PMP is broad and covers predictive, agile and hybrid delivery across people, process and business environment, while the PMI-ACP goes deeper on agile mindset, leadership and adaptive delivery across many frameworks. Candidates who already work in Scrum or Kanban teams often find PMI-ACP more natural, whereas the PMP rewards wider project management judgment. Many people hold both, using PMI-ACP to prove agile depth.
- How long should I study for the PMI-ACP exam?
- Most candidates prepare over about 6 to 10 weeks, studying several hours a week, though it depends on how much hands on agile experience you already have. People coming from a single framework usually need longer on the frameworks and methods outside their day job, since the exam is deliberately framework agnostic. A practical approach is to study one domain, generate practice questions from those exact notes, then move on, so recall is tested while the material is fresh.
- Is this an official PMI-ACP practice test?
- No. PDFQuiz is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by PMI. This tool generates practice questions from the study material you upload so you can rehearse recall across all four PMI-ACP domains, and it does not reproduce real PMI-ACP exam questions. Use it alongside the official PMI resources, the Agile Practice Guide and your prep course, not as a replacement for the official preparation materials.
