CAPM is a PMI certification with approximately 150 questions in 180 minutes. The table below shows the exam weighting published for each domain, so you can decide where to spend your study time instead of working through the syllabus in order.
| Domain | Exam weight | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts | 36% | PM principles, project life cycle, roles, and organizational influences |
| Business Analysis Frameworks | 27% | BA roles, requirements, stakeholder communication, and product roadmaps |
| Agile Frameworks/Methodologies | 20% | Adaptive approaches, iterations, and agile planning components |
| Predictive, Plan-Based Methodologies | 17% | When and how to use predictive approaches, schedules, and controls |
A passing study plan usually trails the weighting: spend the most sessions on Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts (36%), then check the next domain down before moving on. If your accuracy on a high-weight domain stays under 80%, more practice there is worth more than another pass at a low-weight topic.
These questions come from the CAPM practice bank. Read the rationale even when you answer correctly — the explanation is usually where the exam technique lives.
A sponsor asks a project team to add a reporting module to a release that is already under way. The approved scope statement and the requirements baseline describe only the customer portal, and the team can still finish that portal on time if no other work enters the project. The project manager must respond without quietly enlarging the agreed scope. What is the most appropriate response?
Answer: A. Option A is correct because a scope change should be logged, assessed for its impact on scope, schedule, and cost, and then routed through change control so the decision is approved rather than assumed. Option B fails because absorbing the work and reporting the hours afterward consumes capacity without any approved trade-off. Option C refuses a legitimate proposal that the project might accept once its consequences are visible. Option D moves the work off the books and hides the added scope instead of managing it.
At the close of a two-week sprint a team invites its product owner and several stakeholders to inspect the working increment and to say which features should be released next. Later that day the same group wants to look at how it cooperated, and to choose a single change for the sprint that follows. Which event serves that second aim?
Answer: B. Option B is correct because the retrospective is the event reserved for the group to inspect how it worked together during the sprint and to select one improvement to carry forward, which is a different purpose from showing an increment. Option A bends the stakeholder session into a critique of working habits and crowds out product feedback. Option C converts the moment into a status report for the sponsor and produces no change in the way the group operates. Option D looks at pending items rather than at the group's own process.
A team holds a two-hour meeting at the end of every iteration where members demonstrate finished work to stakeholders, answer questions about the increment, and collect requests for new or changed items. Some members confuse that session with the separate discussion of how the team itself worked. Which purpose belongs to the demonstration meeting?
Answer: C. Option C is correct because the demonstration exists so stakeholders can inspect the completed increment and propose adjustments to the product backlog while change is still inexpensive. That conversation is how the team learns whether it is building something the business will accept. Option A describes the retrospective, where the group examines its own process. Option B belongs to iteration planning, which selects the upcoming scope, and Option D turns the session into performance appraisal rather than product inspection.

The CAPM exam is organised into 4 domains: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts (36%), Business Analysis Frameworks (27%), Agile Frameworks/Methodologies (20%), Predictive, Plan-Based Methodologies (17%). The weighting above shows how much of the exam each domain represents, so budget study time in the same proportion.
The CAPM exam has approximately 150 questions in 180 minutes, with a passing score of 70%. Practice sets here are scored the same way as the real exam so you can see whether you are above or below the line before test day.
Start with Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts, the highest-weighted domain, then work down the list. Answer a mixed set after each domain pass — mixing domains forces you to identify what a question is asking before recalling the content, which is what the real exam does.
No. These are original practice questions written against the published CAPM exam objectives. They mirror the style, difficulty, and domain weighting of the real exam, but the actual exam content is confidential and is not reproduced here.
