Prerequisites of online PMP exam

To ensure that exams are given by candidates honestly and fairly as they should, PMI has adopted certain techniques. There are both good news and bad news in this area. Let’s talk about the good news first. It is that candidates can take the exam 24/7. Good news for those late night coffee drinkers who likes their productivity to come out at night. The bad news (kind of) is that you will need three things to give the exam:

• A webcam with your computer- To ensure that candidates do not cheat during the exam. A live proctor will be monitoring you while you give your exam to see to it that you are not copying.
• Reliable internet connection- This goes without saying. Internet is a must to conduct the exam.
• Quiet and well lit space: The room where you give the exam should be well lit and quiet where you can sit uninterrupted for a few hours while you are giving the exam.

That’s it. These are 3 requirements that are a must while giving online PMP exam.
