UPDATE 1 - PMI has responded to the COVID-19 global pandemic and has postponed the change to the new PMP exam until December 31, 2020.

UPDATE 2 - The Online PMP Exam is now available. Approved PMP applicants can now take the PMP exam at home. Prepare your PMP application now with our tools and get approved to write the exam online at home before the PMP exam changes on January 2, 2021.

The new exam content outline is VERY different from the current exam content outline. Much of the new content is not covered in PMBOK, so it is not yet clear how you are expected to study for the new exam.

I strongly recommend everyone to try to write the current exam before it gets changed.

Here's what you need to do to get your application to write the PMP exam approved quickly:

That's it. Just get 35 hours of PM training, get your PMP application approved somehow, get your copy of PMBOK, and study for the exam. The prep course and books mentioned above are optional but often helpful.
