ACPM Exam Registration

Exam structure

The ACPM exam is an online exam with a proctoring system. You can take it from a computer under the remote supervision of the examiner (proctor). The proctor monitors the web-camera image and the candidate's desktop.

The exam tests the analytical and computational skills of a candidate. That is why it consists of two sections:

• The theoretical section contains multiple-choice questions with one or several correct answers.
• The practical section contains case studies or tasks to be solved.

The duration of the exam: 2-3 hours.

The passing score is 80 points or higher for Digital PM and 60 points or higher for other exams. The maximum score is 100 points.

The results are available within 2-3 weeks after the exam in your personal account and are sent to the email address you specified when you registered for ACPM.

An e-diploma is sent by e-mail on 2-3 weeks too if the required number of points is obtained.
