Hi Josh,
I have a question — I’m taking the new/changed version of PMP exam. I noticed that exam duration has been increased by 30 mins. i.e. it is 4:30 mins now. Do know any thing about this? Please let me know . It will help me in preparation. Also the prep cast, it is recommended to use iTunes for downloading–is it ok to downloaded on any pc? Can you please shed some light regarding these concerns.

This is the first I’ve heard about an increased length of time for the exam.

The prepcast can be downloaded with anything that can use an RSS feed….I like iTunes personally, but any podcatcher would work.

Hi Josh,
For the PMP exam, if all questions are answered but marked and end the test, does that mean that all answers are not counted?
Please let me know.

Nita, I asked an expert on the exam this question. Cornelius is the creator of the online PMP training I used for my exam and recommend to everyone.

Josh,

Marking has no influence on the student’s result. It is just a way so that you can “flag” those messages where you are not sure.

Until next time,
Cornelius Fichtner, PMP

Thanks Josh and Cornelius. So I understand if I had marked all the answers it would be still graded. In that case I really need to buckle up and study.
Thanks
Nita

If you mark a question for follow up, and do not unmark it prior to submitting your exam, it’ll still be graded. I believe that the idea of marking a question is for later review by the candidate, but to be prudent, you have to unmark it after review and changes if necessary.
But you’re right, it will be graded either way.
