CAPM practice test: free CAPM exam questions on all 4 domains

A practice test for the PMI Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) exam: original entry-level questions on the four domains of the official content outline (fundamentals, predictive, agile and business analysis). Start with 5 free questions, then take two timed tests of 75 questions in 90 minutes, split like the outline, with an explanation for every answer (earned value, critical path and PERT worked out) and your score per domain.

• 5 free questions
• 2 timed tests, 150 questions

CAPM exam format

Source: PMI CAPM Examination Content Outline (2023 exam update), PMI CAPM page and PMI Certification Handbook (revised June 2026), pmi.org, checked 30 October 2026. PMI does not publish a passing score; it says pass marks are set by psychometric analysis.

What is on the CAPM: the 4 domains

• Fundamentals (5 tasks): project life cycles and processes, project planning, roles and responsibilities, following planned strategies such as communication and risk, and common problem-solving tools.
• Predictive (3 tasks): when a plan-based approach fits, the project schedule (critical path, schedule variance, WBS and work packages) and the controls of predictive projects, including cost and schedule variance.
• Agile (5 tasks): when an adaptive approach fits, planning iterations, adaptive controls and artifacts, the parts of Scrum, XP, SAFe and Kanban, and task management.
• Business analysis (6 tasks): BA roles, stakeholder communication, gathering requirements, product roadmaps, how the methodology changes BA work, and validating requirements through delivery.

What you practise on MyLevel

Every MyLevel question is an original question written on the tasks of the official outline, with one correct answer, three wrong ones and a short explanation. The two full tests have 75 questions in 90 minutes each: one half of the real exam at its real pace (3 hours for 150 questions = 72 seconds per question), split like the outline (27 fundamentals, 13 predictive, 15 agile, 20 business analysis). The CAPM is an entry-level exam, so the questions check terms and concepts as well as short scenarios. Every calculation (cost and schedule variance, CPI, SPI, EAC, ETC, VAC, critical path and float, PERT and its standard deviation, communication channels n(n - 1) / 2, expected monetary value, velocity, capacity and Little's Law) was re-solved by script. After each test you see your score per domain.

MyLevel questions are single-answer multiple choice; the real exam also has drag-and-drop and hot spot items, which MyLevel does not copy. MyLevel costs $9.99, a one-time payment with no subscription and no time limit, and also unlocks every other MyLevel job test, including the PMP practice test for later.

How to prepare for the CAPM

• Get your 23 hours first: the project management education must be finished before you take the exam (CAPM Examination Content Outline).
• Know the vocabulary: about a third of the exam is fundamentals, so learn the difference between a risk and an issue, an assumption and a constraint, a program and a portfolio.
• Learn the formulas: CV = EV - AC, SV = EV - PV, CPI = EV / AC, SPI = EV / PV, EAC = BAC / CPI, ETC = EAC - AC, VAC = BAC - EAC, PERT = (O + 4M + P) / 6, channels = n(n - 1) / 2.
• Do not skip business analysis: at 27% it is the second-largest domain: requirements, elicitation, traceability and roadmaps.
• Train under time: take a full MyLevel test, read the explanation of every miss, study your weakest domain and retake. Aim for 70% or more in every domain and 80% for a margin; this is our own target, not a PMI figure.

MyLevel is independent and not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Project Management Institute (PMI). CAPM, Certified Associate in Project Management, PMP and PMI are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc. All questions are original practice questions written by MyLevel on the tasks of the published Examination Content Outline, not real CAPM exam questions, and a practice score is not a CAPM result or certification.
