Updates to the PMP Exam effective August 31PMBOK® Guide 4th Edition remains in effect, but 30% of exam content changed due to testing of the Professional and Social Responsibility content area (Domain 6) in every domain rather than as a separate domain on the examination.

“Approximately 30% of the PMP exam content will change.Certain examination areas will be tested in a different way. Specifically, the Professional and Social Responsibility content area (Domain 6) will now be tested in every domain, rather than as a separate domain. The RDS revealed that professional and social responsibility is integrated into all of the work of project management.Therefore, PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct should be viewed as integrated into the day-to-day role of a project manager and important in each phase of the project lifecycle.”
