Many aspirants ask me how quickly they can complete their PMP exam.
Yes, you can finish your PMP certification exam in less than 230 minutes.
However, please remember this: you have been preparing for this exam for a long time and are now attempting it. You may be tired and feel confident about all your answers, but this is your final chance to review your answers and pass the exam on this attempt.
So, it is possible to complete your PMP certification exam in less than the given duration, but I strongly recommend you use all the time you’ve been allotted for the exam. Use the rest of your time to revise your answers.
You have been waiting for this moment for months and will not get this chance again. I am also sure you don’t have any other business to attend to.
Check to see if you have miss-marked any answers because even if you know the correct answer, sometimes you select the wrong answer by mistake.
Review all mathematical questions. All the options are designed to be tricky; if you make a mistake, you will see that result as a possible answer. Therefore, always revisit these questions with a fresh mind.
I completed my exam in two and a half hours. After that, I took a short break to refresh, and then I returned and reviewed all my answers. After the first revision, I still had time left, so I revisited many questions and changed a few answers.
Finally, I submitted the answers, and I passed my PMP exam.
I used almost all the time allotted for the exam.
Summary
You can complete the test within any amount of time you wish. You can even finish the test without attempting any questions and leave the test room. Obviously, you would not want to waste your time and resources. You must use these four hours to do everything you can to pass the exam. If you have completed the exam before the four hours are finished, use the remaining time to revise every answer. You can finish the exam once you are confident that all the questions have been marked correctly.
