40 NEW PMI-CAPM Free Questions and Answers (Part - 1)

 

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) exam from PMI is solely based on the PMBOK® Guide, 6th edition. The exam blueprint, however, is based on the Exam Content Outline (ECO) for the CAPM exam. The PMBOK guide covers a vast area in project management and includes a good number of Agile concepts and practices. In this post series we will have 40 PMI-CAPM questions.

These questions are referenced from CAPM Live Lessons - Guaranteed PassCAPM 23 Contact Hours and the book, I Want To Be A CAPM. Do note that these questions are not directly from the CAPM exam, but based on my understanding and feedback from successful CAPMs.

To answer these questions, you need to have:

  • Good grasp on Knowledge Areas of the PMBOK Guide, 6th edition. 
  • Good grasp of the introductory areas of the PMBOK guide such as Project Life Cycles, Project Environment and Role of Project Manager. 
  • Sound understaning of the Agile practices as per the PMBOK guide.
  • Understanding the content of the ECO. The ECO is a small, barebone document listing the possible (not all) topics to be covered for the CAPM exam.

This is the first of the series with 20 questions. The next part has another set of 20 questions.

I hope you enjoy doing these questions and it helps in your preparation for the PMI-CAPM exam.
